Answer 2

Of course you should see your Dr.

When the Dr's find you to be "okay", see a neuromuscular massage therapist.

Sleep positions, sitting at a computer or TV with the screen to the left and low, driving positions (slouching). Just about any position other than neutral that you are in for more than a few minutes can cause trigger points. They are also brought on by injury, certain meds, nutritional deficits, dehydration, and a myriad of other possible factors.

There are several muscles which refer pain into your head and face.

You didn't mention exactly where you feel your pain other than your head.

Referral pain patterns overlap and if it's around or in your eye, trigger points in the Frontalis muscle can be a possible source.

One of the actions of the Frontalis muscle raises your eyebrows which might happen when you look to the left.

There is also a phenomenon that happens by another muscles referral patterns causing trigger points in the affected area.

In this case, the SCM (sternocleidomastoid) has a referral pattern over the Frontalis and commonly can cause trigger points there.

The Orbicularis Oculi also causes pain in the eyebrow area.

The Zygomaticus Major also causes pain on the eye near the nose.

Splenius Cervicus also causes pain in the eye.

Suboccipital muscles, Rectus Capitis Posterior Major & Obliquus Capitus Inferior refer to the eye.

When getting massage to deal with pain it is important to understand that eliminating perpetuating factors and performing appropriate self-care exercises are important factors for relieving pain and preventing it's return.

It is not necessary to see a Neuromuscular Therapist but a massage therapist familiar with trigger point therapy can also be effective.

Trigger points can also co-exist with other conditions or diseases but massage may be contraindicated so see your Dr first!

Good luck.

Answer 3

Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
