The old head

My head. From the back. In 2010.
Despite doing much better shoulder and back wise, the last time I saw the physio, he said my shoulders had tensed up again. And guess what: my head told me so as well. As headaches go, it wasn't a bad one as such and the first few days were quite okay. Not needing any pills, but doing great with a mandarin or a small sandwich.

Yesterday it was a bit worse, but still nowhere near the badness it used to be and definitely not 'calling in sick' bad. Even today, the worst day so far, is still good going compared to before. 

Next week I will be back at the physio and there will be more sessions to come. Because even though we've made great strides, it's not over yet. For now however, despite the headache, I am doing great.

  2. So pleased you are being able to function as that means the headaches are not taking control. Recognizing the tension and forcing one's self to relax is a journey unto itself. Best wishes for a successful journey.

    1. I relax okay, but I am still not quite sure how I tense up those shoulders. I would have thought that not driving would be beneficial, but apparently sitting at home watching television and eating chocolate causes them to tense as well.

    Yes, having had the break from treatment, to find there has been benefit and anticipating more from continued treatment is very much a positive. Even if there are some interim hiccups! YAM xx

    1. I have not actually had a break from treatment. I have been going at least once a week since the beginning. Even during my holiday!
