Im stumped.
can strictly head/muscle pain be viral?
Ive had a killer headache for the last three day that starts at the base of my skull on the left side only and radiates up my head into my forehead and down behind my eye and ear and even my upper jaw all on only the left side.
Its brutal, it hurts so bad I feel like my eye is drooping (its not) and my neck on that side is hard as rock and all knotted up. Its keeping me from sleeping and my migraine/tension headache meds aren't having any effect on it at all.
I assumed it was from working an intense 70 hour week at the bar and over stressing my body.
But then this afternoon I picked my son up from school and his teacher said he complained of his neck hurting a few times
I sort of figured he had heard me complaining in the last day or two and was pretending
He complained about it more and more as the night went on and then started saying his head hurt. I opted for a warm bath and an early night to bed for him as I knew he was tired and cranky.
But he just now woke up crying because he hurt so I gave him some tylenol.
no fever or any other problems and it isn't stiff, he has full range of motion so I dont feel its an emergency.
If he is still hurting tomorow I will call the doctor.
But im perplexed,
first of all this is the weirdest headache I have ever had.......and why on earth would a 7 yr old suddenly start having the same headache!!
