I have the same issue, I went to see a massage therapist for a month, twice weekly. Honestly, it made me feel great except that my headaches got a lot worse. It did however sufficiently take away the headaches for a few minutes that I could feel, for the first time in 4 years, how the headache moved from the right side of my head, across my face then across the top of my head and finally the whole of my head was consumed. It was a cool feeling to feel it moving. One thing that I think really causes the constant aching in my head is the tight muscles. I think that the pain causes tightening in the muscles and then the tight muscles causes more pain etc... I have been thinking about starting Yoga because it is supposed to loosen you up while simultaneously relaxing you. Also it is low-impact which is highly important to me as even walking quickly can be too much jostling for my head.
Good luck with it all!
Live Long and Prosper!
In Christ,
Margarite

Fell off a horse in late winter of 2009 blacked out for a couple seconds, had amnesia for 10 hours (still don't remember this time), had 2 CT scans, 2 MRI's, 1 MRA all negative. Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused
constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance.
Migraine triggers are:
light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights)
sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds)
temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat)
activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled)
pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails)
lacks or quality (food, sleep, water)
tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness)
