Chronic neck and frequent headaches
I wanted to know what else I could do about this pain? I tell my family doctor and it seems like she is not listening. I have tried physical therapy, different medications. I also wanted to know if maybe MEDHELP could give some other places I could go to get help with this pain. Some where close to Washington PA or surrounding area.

Hi...I am not MH, I am just like u ...a member looking for answers to many health questions....I was wondering if u had a MRI of ur brain and cervical spine?
Have u ever been in a MVA?...had a fall?...sometimes that can play into what is going on...so can stress.
Keep a journal to see if foods , stress or physical activity cause a spike in ur pain....it will help the dr dx u a bit better.
Good luck
