Suggest Treatment For Major Sinus And A Tumor On The Pituitary Gland

My friend has had a headache for 8 days, it hurts her head bad when she sneezes or jerks her head. Her teeth hurt when she chews. Neck is also achy. She has major sinus issues, polyps in sinuses. A tumor , Benign, on her pituitary gland. She is having an MRI, MRA tomorrow. I am a massage therapist and want to give her a light massage tonight. She had a short bout of vertigo 8 days ago. It lasted about 2 minutes. She feels like a massage may help her neck. I do not see any specific contraindications, and Dr. Didn t give any precautionary instructions. She saw her Dr. Today, Any thoughts on the massage not being okay at this time?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The massage should be okay , it would not affect the mass on the pituitary or should not have an effect on her history of vertigo.

It may help to relieve the discomfort in her neck

I hope this helps
