was reading a little on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva
even if i breathe in REA,LLY deep it hurts the back of my head/neck,
just hard to determine if its low/high pressure headaches/pain or chiari,
of course im stil waiting to see chiari specialist as well.
ive had neck pain for awhile but the onset ( when it started getting really bad last year)
started with a pain in my neck which went to the top of my head..i had pain in the top of my
head that whole time but now its mostly in the back of my head.i also have really bad facial pain, and have seen a rheumatologist ( found nothing )
Yes, It makes my head hurt and really bad lately...when I use the restroom...
worst part though is the back of my head/neck rite now, it literally feels like when you
break a bone lol I cant cough for anything and I avoid sneezing at all costs....
Hi....when u say it hurts to go , u mean u get the pain in ur head?
That is typical of chiari...and so many of us do have this...as well as when we laugh, cough, sneeze or lift heavy items...Drs say strain, and that is to cover the BM issue,. but I need more details.....
"selma"
hurts to use the bathroom, when I go number 2..lol sounds dumb but its been like that for awhile....i do a lot of research, maybe i shouldnt but its still complex to know everything in the anatomy of the brain and stuff...
when i move my head certain ways - side to side or down...my hands tingle and go numb as well as my face. my face is always hurting i dont know if that is bones or muscles..hurt to move my face at times
wellll as the days go by my neck hurts even worse, i can barly move it...feels like something is like sitting on it, its so numb. if I touch it even a litle..it makes me want to throw up. i had the mri done 7-28-11 Not sure that something could occur in that short amount of time.
