Ice Pick Headaches From Shadow Boxing Posted: 05-31-06 11:46am
I used to shadow box very often, and when
you punch your head moves just a little...
Well after a long time of shadow boxing I
would get a very sharp stabbing pain on
the spot every time... I stopped for a
while and hit the heavy bag and after
going at it for a few minutes a particular
punch gave me a bad ice pick headache, I
havn't shadow boxed or hit the heavy bag
for a few weeks now, but i'm pretty sure
the condition isnt gone, I think its an
ice pick headache problem... But what
concerns me is that it only happens when
my head moves, although rarely I do get a
much smaller pain on that spot from doing
nothing. Couldn't find anything online
that connects ice pick headaches to head
movement, and i'm concerned that I could
have damaged my brain from all of the
shadow boxing( I did it alot as I used to
be fat, I did it so often then i'm now in
good shape and pretty toned)

I've tried for a while, could find
anything on google. My mom thinks i'm a
hypocondriac and doesen't think a cat scan
is necessary. Seems to be a set amount of
punches because it never happens after a
few punches after a while of not shadow
boxing... It takes a small accumilation
then a certain punch will give me a
painful headache.... This is very
dissapointing because i'm very interested
in doing some amateur boxing. I havnt't
shadow boxed for a while now i'm hoping
that the problem goes away but I think I
might need a cat scan...

Wow I think im having the same problem as
you, and it came about the same way:shadow
boxing. The pain for me only lasts as
long as im moving, and it also doesnt come
right away. Usually I can throw anywhere
from 5-10 punches before I start getting
the pain with every punch. But then again
sometimes it doesnt happen at all as I
just found out. Sorry I cant help you, I
was just surprised someone was having a
similiar problem as me. I wish I had your
self control though, I cant stop throwing
punches or hitting things. If I do I get
really angry and irate, sucks for my
family. Had to repair alot of drywall
because of this obsession. I need to get
a damn heavy bag.
