goog friend google helped me find this page. Just like all of you I have been a victim of this pain for around 3 years now. It all started when I had a nasty sinus infection and got worse. I think the infection itsellf was a result of muscle strain cuased when I fell on my butt on some metal stairs.

Since i was very ill informed about my condition I went to doctors who put me through two painful sinus surgeries none of which helped at all.

Evevntually ona trip to india I went to a physical therapist who explained how our body muscles work. I got the book called trigger point therapy and took the time to understand how muscles get contracted and casue this kind of pain. Since then life has improved considerably and I can feel that i am on the road to recovery.

My main symptoms were a tight band around the head which lasted for days at the end and wouldnt let me focus on anything. i think this primarily has to do with muscles in the back and the neck. The Semispinalis Capitis seems to be the root casue of a lot of this pain http://www.round-e arth.com/HeadPainIntro.html
especially since its near the occipital nerve.

I would strongly reccomend going to a physical therapist and trying to find and root out these trigger points. Will update my progress here as it happens.

good luck to all

I have totally gone through that for 3 years now. Its frustrating for us and people around us. But they dont seem to understand that we are not doing it on purpose. our body is too exausted to do anything becasue of the muscle strain. eventually knowledge is the best weapon here and the more you read about muscle staring and referred pain the greater are your chances of sucess. I highly reccomend reading the link in my previous post and if possible the book.

Head / Ear Pain
Posted: 02-11-08 18:28pm

Hi All

I am new to this group and have just read these messages with great interest.

I have been suffering with a sore / painful head for about 8 years, seen various GP's and a Neuro Consultant, I had a scan which proved all clear.

I have never actually been told what the cause of almost daily sensations in my head, I have also had a crackly ear for many years.

I am convinced the two things are connected.

Any help / guidance would be apprectiated.

Ian
