does anyone get trigger point pain?

[colleen224]

hi everyone,

I have been so panicked about what, other than anxiety, might be causing this pain I get on the right side of my head, next to my ear, and over my right eye. I just came across some information about trigger point pain and am wondering if this might be the cause, since I can feel at least two bumps/knots between my neck and shoulder on the right side which I am assuming are from tight muscles. I have already had an MRI scan of my brain which thankfully came back normal.

So, my questions are, does/has anyone else experienced these symptoms, and if so, how did you treat them? I have been applying heat to the affected areas and that helps. I also found a trigger point workbook that I am seriously thinking about buying. I am just sick of worrying about this.

Thanks for your time!

Hi colleen. Yes having knotted muscles an tension in your shoulder and neck area can certainly result in pains in your head. If this book gives you ways to massage these points then id say go for it. Sounds like you just need to loosen up those muscles...
