Yes, I've had a constant headache for 2 months. It's pretty much all over my head and my neck starts to hurt with over exertion /stimulus. It's more like a pressure, if I press with fingertips it hurts. Mine came back 6 weeks POst concussion when I tried to go back to work.

I Wish I could have stayed on Amitriptyline/ Nortriptyline but it made my heart race and chest pain. Waiting to see Neuro for something else.
Hope you find relief soon.

I developed new head ache and neck issues when I started wearing trifocal lenses in my glasses. I needed to tip my head up/back to use the bottom lens. This aggravated my neck. It helped to lower my computer monitor to the lowest position but did not solve it completely. I think the frequent need to tip my head back just aggravated things.

Headache is probably the most annoying symptom I have. I have had a constant headache for 6 months now. I'm taking Tramadol daily to keep them at a tolerable level. Sometimes though even that doesn't help and I just have to ride it out. I'm also worried about developing dependency on it; my doctor says it's not habit forming but I've never been a fan of drugs in general.
