I seem to always have a stiff neck but it doesn't always lead to a headache. I'm constantly rubbing and stretching my neck to try to get relief but nothing works. I feel like I'm having lots of problems even after I've made significant progress with my treatment. Does this happen to anyone else?

When i have bad migraines my neck and shoulders hurt horribly. I get botox gor my migraines, so i get extra botox in neck and shoulders. Definitely helps.

I was born into a family suffering with migraines. That was my mother, father, and 4 children. My nephews also get migraines. My siblings and I are still suffering from them in our senior years. All of us suffer from neck pain. I do exercises for it and weight training. It helps. Meditation also helps a lot. I wish you the best on your surgery.

My neurologist sent me to pt. After a session I am down with a headache the day after

I have had multiple neck injuries which all added to the number of migraines I get. The last one happened when I did a faceplant on asphalt. It knocked C4 out beyond C5. Not only did my migraines increased again, but it pinched a nerve to my left arm, leaving it useless for 3 weeks. Very painful. I lost the ability to play my mandolin for about 8 months. But time heals. 3 years later, I still am slower on 2 of my 4 fingers when playing mandolin, but it's much better than that first year. Migraines have continued though. I used to get them on my right side, but it has shifted to the left side since the fall. I still suffer with nonstop pain on the left side of my neck where the shift happened. I probably always will.
