The pain is horrible and I can't straighten it until the stupid thing lets go. It is about the only time that I'm actually yelling out loud. Good thing I live alone...but poor Willy the dog. He doesn't know what to do then.

When my husband was alive he would force it to straighten by literally sitting on it. Also painful but at least it brought releif quicker.

^^^This is almost identical to what I go through. Only mine is in my feet mostly and they curl so bad it forms a "c" with the bottom of my foot. My hubby pulls it flat for me and it goes away faster. I can't move it until the spasm goes away. It is terribly painful.

Now it is not my head when that happens but I do have something else I go through that makes me completely understand what you're going through. When you don't know what's causing it for sure or if it's going to get worse it's terrifying. Even knowing what causes mine now when I have a bad attack it is still scary.

I don't know if yours is MS or something else, but I would see if maybe your doctor has anything to say about it.
