I am in constant discomfort, feels like a knife is stuck in the base of my skull where the muscles attach. There is also a nagging burning pain in the same basic location. In addition my upper back muscles knot up periodicly causing upper back pain. This has been going on for atleast 6 months and causes constant headaches and now my eyes have developed bags under them. I have tried deep tissue massages, physical therapy, acupuncture and even magnets.
Nothing seems to help.
I'm tired of living on pain killers. Can you help. Dear James, The first thing you need to do is to see a physician about the neck pain. On occasion problems may arise from chiropractic manipulation and to miss an injury would be unfortunate. A physician can examine you and determine whether you have any bony or vascular injuries from the manipulation.
