I do not know what your accident consist of...but I had major muscle spasms all in upper body,neck,face, because of many issues physically because of accident but the leading cause was anxiety/panic.The only muscle relaxer (out of A LOT) that worked was muscle relaxer/benzo that helped greatly was valium and I had to get cortisone shots because of physical problems.

My headaches have become more manageable, and less frequent, which is good. When I do get them they all seem to stem from tight muscles in my neck and back. I am seeing a physio at the moment; I have been there 5 weeks. I have seen some slight improvement, but I am still waking up every morning with tight back and neck muscles which eventually leads to a headache. My question is what could be causing my muscles to be so tight every day and what can I do to relieve it and help my recovery!??
Hope everyone is well today.
Thanks.
