I've just this very moment rose from the floor in the midst of debilitating head pain, which for me is a vise like grip, almost a seizure really, which grabs just the right side of my skull. Any physical strain on my spine sets it off, and that's what happened this week. Pretty bad.
But what I literally just finished doing, and then read your post, was to place a tens unit all around the base of my spine, which turned off the pressure in my skull more than a few notches (I can't get a SCS for fears of exacerbating things). If you have one, give it a shot.
