I dont take pain pills or muscle relaxers or anything just ice & heat. I had injections - no help worse. now back of head hurts when I tilt back. I tried therapy - no luck. now my back of my head is worse than neck pain. I can here fluid when rotating my head left/right

Hi,
in my opinion you should stick to physiotherapy for some long time as it is your only safe choice , you can try US, heating ,massage, muscle energy technique, and osteopathic techniques will help too
