I was looking up things for one of our PN posters who has a very severe neck spasm problem.
I found this website: http://breakingmuscle.com/mobility-r...r-injured-neck The 3rd intervention of massaging a specific acupressure point on the opposite hand, really does work. I have a stiff neck today as a left over from yesterday's dentist appointment. It has been awful today. So I did this massage for 5 minutes on each hand... and bingo my nagging headache/neck ache is now gone. I don't know how long this will last, so I will keep track of that. but this is so simple and easy...it might work for some posters here. At first when I started to massage the hand as the site explained it was very sore and painful...but now the hand does not react that way any more right now. I did while watching some CNN TV.

You aren't kidding about that site being sore to the touch, woah! I'll keep trying this, hopefully it provides some relief, thanks!

26 year-old PhD student in evolutionary biology, slipped on ice in Feb 2014 while clipping my fingernails and walking to save time (dumbest reason for PCS ever?). Initially just had headaches and didn't feel quite right, but a minor head bump 5 days later started a downward spiral of anxiety, depression, insomnia and fatigue. Had trouble concentrating on reading/looking at screens April 2014 - did exertion test, passed, started exercising and doing more, but didn't feel much better. May 2014 - Went on backpacking trip OK'd by doctor, trip itself went fine, but felt worse a few days after getting back, more difficulty concentrating, worse headaches. June 2014 - Bumped head on ceiling walking slowly down stairs, no immediate symptoms, but caused worsening headahces, more difficulty concentrating and looking at screens. Have not felt as good as I did before this since this bump. December 2014 - after feeling relatively better I went xc skiing and fell but didn't hit my head (something my psychologist who specializes in brain injuries told me he hoped would happen so I saw it was OK), felt worse Feb 2015 - back in grad school, light teaching load and some research, nowhere close to operating at my full capacity. Still have constant headaches, difficulty reading/looking at screens, mild anxiety and depression, and just not feeling like my normal sharp self. Trying, but struggling, to believe that I'll get back to my old self, or at least get close. |

mrsD,
Thanks for the refresher! I had forgotten all about this. I have found this works for me some of the time.  Yes, the acupressure points are sore!  Going to keep working on them anyway.  Warmly, DejaVu |
