Ok, I have been to the emergency room 5 times and to my medical doctor 4 times. Each time they say there is nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing to worry about. Everything is ok. Im fine. BUT.....I have had these HUMONGOUS headaches for going on 3 months now. The don't respond to anything. Such as Quiet, darkness, Excedrin, Excedrin Migraine, Tylenol, Tylenol Migraine, Tylenol Sinus, or Tylenol Tension headache relief. At first it was just the headaches, but then, for almost 2 months now, I have has severe muscle pain. My neck, lower back, shoulders and now, more recently both legs and both feet. The headaches AND the pain are constant. They are there when I wake up, until the time I go to bed. I have recently experienced a huge lack of sleep related to the horrendous headaches. What is wrong?? And how do I get these dr's to take it seriously?

Have you talked about these symtoms with your doctor . Take a full body checkup and try to meet different doctor . Many times it happens that one doctor don't find anything wrong but another one might catch the problem . It sounds to be not a normal situation where you having headache all the time .

It's stress. It's also psychosomatic as well. You only think there's something wrong when there isn't anything. I used to have headaches all the time and there wasn't anything wrong, just stress.

Try and find some natural remedies, don't focus on wasting your time and money seeing doctors who know what they're talking about.

I think you need to find another doctor. Go to a specialist like a neurologist. You NEED to find another doctor that will actually listen to you. Sounds like the doctor you are going to just isn't hearing you well, just seeing your wallet. A friend of mines father found a lump on his throat, his doctor told him it was nothing and it would go away, a year later it was still there, he went to another doctor and found out that it was cancer. So please do not rely on a doctor that goes on telling you its nothing, its your body and you know when something is wrong with it.

It sounds like you need to see a specialist. Try going to a neurologist. Go from doctor to doctor until you find someone who will take you seriously. You can't make someone take you seriously if they are determined not to, so don't waste your time. Just keep looking for good doctors. You may have to meet with five or six doctors before you find someone who cares, but don't give up. We have to be our own best advocates in this messed up medical system.

Do you get enough leisure time? Do you work out regularly and how is your diet?
What about your job-stressful?

I am asking you these questions because I had a similar experiance.Not the same but a similar experience.I was having these chest pains.Finding it difficult to eat. Initially I was not concerned,then it got to a point where I was having so much difficulty swallowing (because it hurt),that I went to the doctor.He said it was just due to my bad lifestyle choices.He did give me a couple of pills.It took a while before I got better.But the experience was a little scary.
It was caused because I skipped meals, was stressed at work,could not find enough time to excercise etc. etc.

I suggest,look into these aspects.Meanwhile,if the discomfort is as bad as you say it is, get second, third opinions.Change your doctor.

I am assuming that before all these doctors told you nothing is wrong, they had done some basic diagnostic tests and imaging. What this means is that they can see no reason for the pain.

While it's true that stress can cause muscles to tense and especially tension in neck muscles can cause headaches, it could also stem from other more physical reasons. Neck and shoulders could be related to something you do, from painting, overhead work or even just poor posture or poor ergonomics when you are working on your computer.

If you have been for a complete physical with lab work and no one finds anything specific, then you should consider seeing a physical therapist or a chiropractor who might be able to assess if there are some posture issues or ergonomic issues in your daily activities.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20557)   ranked 63 out of 38,533 in life  8 months ago

My answer is based on the same assumption, that they have run some tests to see what the problem is before they tell you there is none. In addition to posture and ergonomics, it can be fragrance sensitivities and allergies.

The only advice i can give you is to seek another doctor's opinion, it sound's like the the doctor's you have seen have'nt got a clue, go talk to a doctor who will listen and treat you, having these headaches for so long, find a doctor who knows what he's talking about, don't be afraid to get help, you don't want to be in pain forever....

Okay, you have probably got yourself set up for rebound headaches, number one. What do you take for your headaches and how often? Many of these products, if you do not solve the headache, will give you kind of withdrawal headaches when they wear off. Most of the products you are mentioning either have acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine and/or some sinus medication in them.If your head hurts with and without them, go without for a few days, it cannot be any worse. Get your body un addicted. Number two, get a calcium and magnesium blend supplement in the vitamin section at Wal Mart. This is not a quick fix, but it does help in the long run. Start on it, following the label directions, or whatever. Number three, keep track of your blood pressure, and keep a food diary, it could be a food reaction. Calcium is good for your bones and joints, but it is not effective without sufficient magnesium. Magnesium serves as a smooth muscle relaxer, it will help the muscles in your neck and your shoulders and your legs. It may take as much as six weeks to help. It is not covered by insurance, but it is not an expensive remedy, either. Make sure you take vitamin D as well. If you think it is sinus issues, again, it may be rebounding from using too much medication. Take Mucinex or the generic, and use a saline nasal spray, as many times a day as you like. You can start all of these things for under twenty dollars, and quit taking so many other things that cost more. I hope this is helpful to you.

If you have insurance: When it's really bad go to the ER and tell them you can't see, function, anything. It's the worse thing you have ever felt. It's super horrid. Make sure your tears flow and you can't function.

They will run tests... they have to.

That will start the ball rolling. Follow up on what ever they say. PUSH until you get results.

Have you had an MRI? You may have to see a specialist, maybe a neurologist cause that might be nerve problems or may be some blood flow problems.
