Dear Bricktop,
Sorry yr exp. this pain.
Trouble with the head is we are the most aware of this part of our body over all other parts. If we have pain in our head it is inescapable.
But, when suffering something as you have and coming to expect head pain......I do believe that alone can bring on the pain. You may be worrying subconsciously that you will get more head pain and are therefore causing it.
If however that is not the case I would suggest you simply have inflamation of the nerves around your neck and these are not being given time to heal. All the treatments and exercise are actually not helping at the moment.
Ice your neck and alternate this with warmth regularly and see if this helps.
All these pain killers are not the answer to a long term solution. Try to tolerate some pain and then you will tell what is helping to relieve it. It will get better with time that is logical. Even if you have an structural issue with your back or neck your brain in time will stop registering the pain.
If you need more reassurance then go back to your GP and get him to explain things to you again.
Good luck

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
