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!

I am coming up to 4 months PCS and my symptoms are coming and going/reducing. I have noticed neck pain also, but this is relatively new. I also think it coukd be down to muscle tension. I get pressure on the left and then the right side of my head and I am told this is muscular, I think its aggravated by too much mental or physical activity. I also get waves through my body and I am told this is tension.
People with PCS have raised tension and arousal levels, the tenson combined with insomnia is going to have a physical effect somewhere, and I think its coming out in my neck. The pain isn't constant, it comes and goes, so I think its a consequence of PCS symptoms.
Good luck with it, and I hope you recover.
