So You Have Been Given A Diagnosis – Has This Been Helpful To You?
I suspect not, for diagnosis is based on a set of signs and symptoms – a diagnosis does not give you any information as to what is causing your headache or migraine.
The diagnosis you have been given is based on the International Headache Society’s classification system. However, because consistent research is lacking and evidence for assumptions is inadequate, a large part of the diagnostic classification system is based on expert opinion and compromise; the system is subject to criticism and frequently challenged. The authors of the classification system have acknowledged this, indicating that the system is unwieldy, lengthy and very detailed and that it was essentially intended for research rather than as a clinical tool. This is not assisted by the fact that there are overlapping symptoms between cervicogenic (neck-related) headache, tension-type headache and migraine (making differential diagnosis unconvincing), and increasing evidence which suggests that the different headache types share a common mechanism – perhaps the different headache and migraine types are not separate entities, but simply different expressions of the same process.
It is interesting to note that the ‘triptans’ (medication designed specifically to abort the migraine process) are effective in managing migraine, tension-type headache, menstrual migraine, cluster headache, sinus headache, cervicogenic and post-traumatic (whiplash) headache – Why? Supposedly the ‘triptans’ stop the migraine by constricting or narrowing the blood vessels … but are menstrual migraine, tension headache and sinus headache, for example, caused by expanding blood vessels?
Other questions are intriguing also …
Why is it that whiplash-associated headaches exhibit similar features to migraine, tension-type and cervicogenic headache?
Why is it that accompanying neck pain and or stiffness, and headache or migraine triggered by neck position or movement, which are distinctive features of cervicogenic headache, and a history of migraine, tension headache, menstrual migraine, cluster headache start soon after neck trauma?
Why is it that many women not only endure menstrual migraine but also experience similar headaches at other times in their cycle, when oestrogen levels are not significantly lowered – for example mid cycle when oestrogen is at its highest? Menstrual migraine supposedly results from decreased eostrogen …
The answers can be drawn from the recent and significant research, which has demonstrated that the brainstem is sensitised or hyper-excitable in both migraine and tension-type headache sufferers and that the ‘triptans’ desensitise the brainstem (suggesting that sensitisation is evident in range of headache and migraine conditions – and the upper cervical spine (neck) is in a key position to sensitise the brainstem).
It is appropriate that the first step is for your headache or migraine to be assessed by your doctor who will then determine if a neurological opinion is required and whether a scan of your head is necessary. In the vast majority of cases a scan is negative, that is, no abnormality is present. Subsequently, what usually happens is that medication is suggested, and then starts a ‘merry-go-round’ of trying different medication regimes; you as headache or migraine sufferer are (perhaps unnecessarily) destined to a lifetime of medication.
At this point, what is missing is a thorough examination of the structures of the upper neck.
Why is it that the role of the cervicogenic (neck-related) factors in headache and migraine, is largely dismissed by the medical model of headache? Perhaps it is because consideration of the neck does not fit the medical model and anything that does not fit into the medical model is not given serious consideration. Furthermore, because examination of the neck does not fit into the medical model, there has been little interest in developing the role of treating the neck for the relief of headache or migraine. Given the significant number of people who suffer headache and migraine it is essential that all factors that could sensitise the brainstem be investigated equally (this is not the case with the cervicogenic aspect) to create a more comprehensive approach.
As a result of my unparalleled clinical experience I have developed an approach, which not only determines if disorders of your neck are likely to be the source of your headache symptoms (sensitisation), but can also identify the spinal segments at fault. This diagnostic accuracy increases the chances of a successful outcome.
I know that some of you may have had your necks examined and treated unsuccessfully but until your neck has been examined by a practitioner* experienced in this approach, your upper neck cannot be ruled out as the source of your headache or migraine – what is it to be – the possibility that your neck has been the unidentified source all along or a lifetime of ongoing medication?
Hint: If your headache or migraine is one sided and then on another occasion is on the other side, or if your headache can swap sides within the same episode the source of your headache is your neck and it is the C(cervical) 2-3 spinal segment!

Motorola droid is being a pain, any way to fix it?
My droid is being like so stupid in three areas: battery life, slowness, and forclosing!! Today I woke around 10am then started texting people and that’s was it, I used no web or anything and I had to plug my phone in at 1 30pm! Then I charged it a while and it was back down it dead at like 5 then I charged it to 100 pecent at 5 and by 8pm it was down to 20 pecent!! I have to charge my phone like 4 times a day it feels like!
Then my phone is sooooo slow! I will exit an app and then I will see my background image for like 3 min befor my icons pop up! And when typing on the phone touch screen key board the phone will freeze constantly!! And even on the physical keyboard it will!!
Then last like half the apps I use forclose right away when oped or while using them!! Most of the time its my processer, home screen, messages, or googe that forcloses
Is there a way to make it better??? I think its because this droid is from insurance and the insurance ones are never good!
yes, I have some of the problems with the droid, i would call verizon and see if you can get an exchange.

How To Cure Back Pain – Ideas For Doing it Naturally !
Back pain can be a debilitating condition depending on the level of pain you are dealing with, it can be acute to chronic. It can be frustrating and upsetting and can change the way you live your life. There is also a possibility that back pain fatigue will occur.
Back pain fatigue is felt when the pain is so strong and continuous that you are very tired and listless from just trying to deal with the pain and are having to remain absent from work just to rest because you don’t have the energy to go to work in the first place.
It is important when dealing with these issues, to see if you can find a way to alleviate them. There are several proven natural ways to help with back pain and natural therapy is a better solution as a first option because some medications, invasive testing, and chemicals can often do more harm than good.
Here are a few natural solutions to help with back pain and or back pain fatigue. You may implement one of them or all of them. It is recommended that you research other methods as well to find the best solution for you.
Firstly, try natural supplements. There are a few natural supplements found to have had proven success in managing back pain and back pain fatigue. Magnesium is one of them. Magnesium is known to help and maintain muscle tone and bone density. It can help in relaxing and contracting the muscles, therefore alleviating the pain. This is also instrumental in helping back disc pain. It can help contract and relax the area of the disc, and help take pressure off.
An herb that has been connected to back pain relief is nettle. The extracts from the nettle leaf help reduce inflammation. The reduction of inflammation will help back pain sufferers get some relief from their pain.
Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that has a lot of benefits in this area. Vitamin B12 increases energy, thereby helping to relieve back pain fatigue. It also helps with supporting the spine to grow normally, and maintains bone density. This helps to strengthen the back.
Lastly try willow bark extract. Willow bark extract was used in a blind study conducted by the American Journal of Medicine. A large percentage of the users of willow bark reported being pain-free after the study was completed.
Massage. Everyone enjoys a massage, but massage therapy has been known to help in this area. When massaging the back where the pain is most prevalent, it helps to increase endorphins. Endorphins make us feel good. When we feel good, pain becomes much more manageable. Just be sure when you get a massage it is done by a professional massage therapist. A suitably qualified practitioner will know how to treat your general back pain or back disc pain. If someone who is not trained in massage was to work on your back, they could do more harm than good. That’s why a professional massage therapist is so important. Many back pain sufferers have regular massages as massage increases energy, which can combat your back pain fatigue.
Back pain can be excruciating and many people have turned to prescription medication in an effort to get rid of their pain. Often they become addicted to or overly dependent on it. It will help your back pain in the short term, but may also lead to complications with dependancy should you choose to stay on it in the long term.
There are natural products that do quite well in helping to ease the pain. A natural ingredient called capsaicin is found in hot peppers. There are creams that are made with capsaicin that can be applied directly to the painful area on the back. The capsaicin in the cream causes a warm, tingling sensation, and it is often reported to greatly ease back pain. The more you apply, the more intense the feeling will be so use with care.
Eat a healthy diet and include lots of water. Many good whole natural foods are filled with vitamins that aid in the relief of back pain. Calcium, Vitamin B12, and magnesium are found in many foods and help in managing back pain. Also, consume lots of water. Water will help you to keep your body hydrated. This can make a vast difference in the severity of your back pain. Back disc pain and back pain fatigue can also be helped when we remain hydrated.
As previously mentioned, back pain can be very hard to deal with. That’s why it is so important to seek out alternate methods of relief, and choose the one that will help you the most. It may take a little time through trial and error but once you find an alternative solution that works well for you, you will be on your way to feeling better and that much closer to living your life the way you want to – naturally!

Can I get adjusted by a chiropractor without being twisted, cracked, and popped around San Angelo Tex?
My back has been hurting me for a long time and now it is getting to where I can’t get out of bed without prescription pain killers or even climb a ladder period. This is a major problem since I build for a living. I really don’t want to have surgery, but I don’t want someone cracking my back and paralyzing me either. I would really just like to find a way to fix my back without twisting my body and cracking my spine or having to go through surgery, since everyone I know that has had back surgery says it was the worst decision of their lives. I live close to San Angelo, TX, and would like to find something close, like Austin or Dallas if I have to go further than Abilene or San Angelo.
ABSOLUTELY! Just look this chiropractic quack up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzKd9YEoCAM&feature=player_embedded#at=15 And chiropractors try to convince people that they have the equivalent education of a medical doctor…what a joke!

Center chest and sharp upper back pain after smoking weed?

Okay, I am sixteen years old and am experiencing REALLY BAD back pain. I had it last week, but then it went away. I have had it back since Sunday and it has not gone away. It brings me to tears and I have all I can do to walk and bend over to pick up things. I have a heating pad on right now, but it is not helping. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi Honey. I’m not an expert in back pain but I’ve studied human anatomy and that’s the lumbar region of the spine….. It’s *very* weird for a 16 year old to get this unless things have been damaged……. It might be a confused signal from a nerve. [They've gave me hell for years until I learnt how to deal with them.]………. Try gentle stretching exercises and stretch a little more until about 5 days when you should be able to stretch as much as possible. [comfortably of course].

Is there a natural pain reliever that really work on severe back pain and spasms?
I am tired of going to doctor for my back pain, and having them just keep refering me to specialist. I need pain relief. Not back surgery! I have some old injury, but the biggest problem is probably a pinched nerve or something that is causing unreal pain.
I have tried, for something similar, reflexology to relax the entire body, followed by work on the specific area, ie your back.
It may not be reflexology that works for you, it may be something else – accupressure, biofeedback, yoga, … There are many, many different things to try. You’ll know pretty quickly if you found the right thing for you. If not, move on, try the next thing, or try a different practitioner.
Whatever the treatment, or treatments of choice, try to go to a facility that has a place where you can relax before and after, and try to give yourself time for this. To me, this makes a very significant difference – I used to rush to finish what I was doing, rush in the car to get to the treatment, rush out of the treatment in traffic, the try to make up for whatever activity I had missed time on – this negated the treatment.
Whatever the treatment is, start with the treatment not for your back, to get your body ready. Then, over several sessions, slowly increase the focus on your back.
Note that when I say relax, I mean much more than that, but I cannot describe it very well. Maybe well being is a better description. It seems as though it makes your body really have its full ability to deal with the issue.

I paid the lower back and pressure the top of the left leg was tingling pain, numbness, burning and itching?
I do not know the details of your back pain (duration, for example, trauma history, age, sex), so I can not tell what's wrong with it. Hope this helps. Usually, tingling, numbness, tingling and burning are signs of neurological problems. In your case, I believe that back pain is the cause of the problem. Such Once you have a herniated disc compressing the spinal nerve. This can result in signs described above in various parts of the leg, according to the nerve of the hernia disc is compressed. For example, if the signals are in the lateral (outer) side of the thigh, is caused by compression of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh. See your doctor if you have any questions. They are professionals. I am not.
