| Could it be? |
Remember that little operation I had last year? The one where they removed a few of my insides? Well, ever since I have used the pill. The anti-conception pill to be clear. For medical reasons, because they removed most of the insides, but left one part. And that part could cause trouble in the future if I don't take the pill. I had noticed however that while I was on 'menopause' (during my sick leave) I did not have any headaches and as soon as I started taking the pill (almost at the same time as going back to work), they came back.
After nearly a year of taking the pill though, I needed a new prescription. And I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about my headaches as well. Yesterday was the day. A nice young female doctor (not my own, she has been on leave for ages now) finally got to see me after a long wait. I opened my mouth and 'ring ring' the telephone. A few minutes later I got another chance and 'ring ring' the telephone. Fortunately that was it with the ringing and I was able to tell her what I wanted to tell her.

She pulled up the details of my operation and I found out it had been even harder then I always had thought. We then talked about how the pill might affect my head. And I realised that perhaps it didn't. Perhaps the problem lay in another area altogether. Because when she stood behind me and tried to 'massage' me, it really hurt.
Which means: I continue with the pill I have been using and will be sent on to see a physiotherapist to help with the locked shoulders and neck. It will take a few weeks she said, but knowing how slow it can go... it might take a bit longer. But, on the plus side: something is being done!
Yippee!
You really battle this. Perhaps, massage therapy will be the key.
ReplyDeleteOH DEAR...BABY STEPS BUT IT SURELY SOUNDS LIKE THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I HAD A LOT OF NECK/SHOULDER PAIN WHEN WORKED AND EVERY SO OFTEN NOW IF I SIT AT THE COMPUTER TOO LONG.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK

ReplyDelete... can't say I am surprised by this, to be honest; many of the massages I gave over the years were for folk who spent lots of time at the wheel - or the desk... Along with the physio, though, it will be important to become aware of the tightening and 'breath it out'... So glad you got a doc who listened! YAM xx
I should have known a lot sooner of course, because I do feel my shoulders on some days. Didn't realise it was this bad though.
DeleteWell at least you have a direction and I pray that will be the answer to your headaches.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that this STOPS the Headaches!!
ReplyDeleteThat neck and shoulder area can get locked up so be patient as you await a result. Cuz after all, a massage is always nice!
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On!

Crikey ..... I hope those aches in your head disappear soon. they can't be much fun!!
ReplyDeleteYou call that a "little" operation ? I wonder what you would call a serious operation ! That would be nice if the headaches would go with the help of a phisio !
