Do Chronic Headaches And Stiff Neck Need Immediate Medical Attention?
I ve had chronic headaches for about 2 and a half weeks. They have started to make my neck stiff and my back sore. I can get them under control for about an hour or two, but they come back. I m taking headache medicine every 2-3 hours just to be able to feel some relief. I wake up with pounding headaches everyday. Is this something I should be concerned about or Is it normal?
