Pain in the back of the head with trickling feeling?

1/1/09 I had a headache in the back of my head that wouldn't go away and morbid thoughts (death, etc.) I had been on a crash diet. I bought a VITAMIN B COMPLEX at the drugstore. Within 3 days I was feeling great again. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Finally GOD showed me what was wrong with me, really. Tension-type headaches frequently manifest at the back/base of the head and in the neck. These are characterized by the sensation of dull but constant, non-throbbing pressure. They can be caused by general stress/anxiety, irregular eating habits, overuse of tobacco or alcohol, sleep deprivation, or other factors. Some types of migraines also manifest at the back of the head. These differ from tension headaches in that the pain is more severe and prolonged, and tends to be made worse by routine physical activity (e.g., the pain sharpens notably during or after physical exertion).

Most of these headaches can be treated effectively with over-the-counter pain medication; ibuprofen is particularly recommended for tension-type headaches. But if your headache persists for more than a few days, you should seek medical attention, because chronic headaches in this area could be the result of a potentially dangerous underlying condition, not to mention that they can impair your ability to function normally.

How do you avoid back pains when on the computer?

Can you crush morphine and smoke it to get high?

yes because crushing a liquid is physically possible. If you get morphine pills, it will have an immediate effect. Make sure you have the right dosages though because you could OD easily. The dosages people report snorting are in the 5-30mg range and the dose people have reported smoking is more in the 3-10mg range. Morphine is highly addictive even more so than weed so be careful because you can get hooked after 3-4 times.

What is the best type of massage to relieve back pain?

The purpose of a back massager is to reach out all trigger points to relieve back pain. Ideally, a massage done by someone is the best for your back. But it is not a feasible option. A good back massager is one that gives a gentle but effective massage to your back. A back massager is not only effective for back pain relief but also for shoulder and neck pain. It can also be used to release stress. Care should be taken while purchasing one because all the available massagers have different functioning. Try out as many as you can before buying and go for the one that is the most comfortable to your trigger points. Personally, I use osim's back massager. It works really well for me.

In short, "best back massager" will differ for every person. You need to figure out the most comfortable one for yourself!
