I have ongoing headaches as result of concussion and whiplash following a rear traffic accident over 3 months ago. I have been attending physio twice weekly at first and now weekly but find very little relief. On her touching my head and working on it I usually need the next 2 days or so in bed and the pain is greatly exacerbated. It eases eventually but by then its time for my next session. I even gave physio a miss for 2 weeks and tried acupuncture instead. The result was the same more swallowing of strong pain killers - tylex and now ixprim prescribed by my G.P. and resorting to anxicalm to get asleep at night. The headaches are now constant and I have not been able to return to work. I did try 3 weeks ago but just lasted 4 days when I had a huge flare up resulting from all the head bending I do when correcting childrens work. I am a Primary Resource teacher and also in charge of Sport in the school. One of my friends suggested attending a cranial osteopath but i dont know how this is different from Physio. Can you give any advice on this matter. My G.P. Has referred me to a pain clinic but that appointment even privately is 3 weeks away. My x-rays showed no fractures which I know is good but I am beginning to feel very down about the lack of progress . I would appreciate another opinion.
Thank you, Deirdre
