The headaches and the weight lifting lead me in to directions.

1. TOS - Thoracic OUtlet Syndrome sometimes connected to weightlifting and the headaches can also be connected. Do you have any numbness or tingling in the hands?

We have a TOS board where you can ask more questions. Here is the link for the TOS board.

2. Possible neck flexion issue - meaning cervical neck may have gotten unstable from the injory. Often called a subluxation or retrolithesis. MRI might not show but EMG and flexion extension x-rays might help pinpoint.

3. Cervical disc issue

MIght be worth seeing an ortho or a neuro

Keep us posted.

Hm, but when my headaches occur they are centralized at the general spot where I bumped my head, I just feel a dull sensation.
