question: Hi doctor, I have been getting a sudden radiating pain like a wave from the back of the head up to the forehead. It is worse on right side and radiates to left side. It comes suddenly and is dull, but about 7/10 in pain scale. It goes away almost as fast as it starts. It happens multiple times a day when I am standing or sitting. And, it does not occur when I am lying down. Also, I have a mild constant dull ache in my head and moderate neck pain, which is worse on the right side. I feel that I have multiple trigger points and can sometimes replicate the pain when I hit them, but not always. Do you feel this pain could be from the trigger points? Is this something my chiropractor can help with? I have not seen him for about two months and this pain started about a month ago. I am in a desk job and I do work for around 40 hours a week. I never had headaches like this before. I am currently taking Ibuprofen for pain.
