Sudden Head Pain Upon Movement Posted: 07-08-04 21:52pm
For the past 3 months, I have had short,
sharp pains in the back of my head on the
left side. Right at the base of my skull.
I have seen a chiropractor and everytime
that he gives me a neck adjustment, the
pain stops for a few days or a few weeks.
The pain only occurs when I move about
suddenly. Especially when I jump or turn
my head suddenly. When I visit the
chiropractor, he always finds at least one
vertabrae on my neck that is out of
joint, upon correcting this, it always
feels much better and I can go days
without any pain.
I'm not that worried about this being a
brain tumor, because the pain only occurs
when I make sudden movements with my body.
But still, i'd like to know what other's
opinions of this is. Thanks for your
time.

Personally I would want an x-ray to rule
out anything moer serious especially as I
would not like the idea of having to have
neck adjustments for the rest of my life -
i'd also seek advise from another
chiropractor, also physiotherapist to see
if there is a less invasive option.
I personally know of a dr/chiropractor who
had a patient die after neck manipulation;
also not one medical professional in many
fields over a 20 year period has ever even
replied to my query of how come if your
knees dislocate it causes severe damage
yet wrenching your spine(kneck) back into
alignment (a form of reverse dislocation
after it has dislocated itself) is ok??

Sudden Head Pains Posted: 02-01-08 11:19am
Sometimes I get sudden head pains. I get
them every now and then. I get them
sometimes when Im just sitting down, and
not doing anything active. For instance.
Just a few minutes ago, I just had a sharp
pain in the back of my head. But it was a
quick pain. And that was it. Sometimes a
pain will shoot from the back of my head
to the side. It kinda freaks me out. I
dont know what causes it. Maybe I can get
some opinions about it.
