2 months continuous headache

Hi Guru
I’ve had almost two months of neck and shoulder pain and continuous headache.

I spend my working day in front of a computer, as an editor, so it’s intensive. I’ve had eye tests, wear appropriate glasses and have followed all the ergonomic instructions for setting up my workstation and taking regular breaks, stretching, looking away every 20 mins etc etc. I’ve had occasional headaches before, but they usually only last a day or two, not two months.

I had a massage, (nice, but short-lived effects). The pain moved down my back for a couple of days then back up to my neck and shoulders. About two weeks later, in desperation, I saw an expensive private physio, who turned my head back and forth a few times and said my neck was ok. She gave me another massage, plus some acupuncture, and said my shoulders and neck were very knotted up and that I needed regular (weekly!) massage. Financially, not an option.

I sleep on my side, with a firm memory foam pillow, and I wake up every day with a stiff neck. I never used to have this. Tiger balm, a heat pack on my neck, sitting with my back to the radiator, hot baths, lying on massage balls  … argh,

I’m sick of being in constant pain, which interferes with my work and my

general enjoyment of life. What do I need to do to fix this?

Could there be something wrong with my neck?
Thanks!
Jill
