Question: Thank you so much for your follow up Dr. Saha. I didn't expect to hear from you again, so that was a very pleasant surprise! I still have the excruciating chronic headaches that get much worse in the evenings. I have tried using Naproxen as you suggested and it does help a little where other over the counter meds don't do anything. Because my last month's commission check wasn't enough to even pay my mortgage, I had NO money to see a physical therapist, but will as soon as I can for the arthritis in my neck that I am sure after your diagnoses is causing my headaches. I do use my over the door neck traction device with just 10 lbs. for 8 minutes. Doing just that little makes the sharp headache even worse for that day and sometimes the next, so only do when I can. But it seems to be helping. Also running very hot water over my neck while standing in the shower for a looong time time helps some too. Any reason to go see a chiropractor and get a neck X-ray since we know that arthritis is there? I would much appreciate hearing from you again as to your ideas, and thanks again for checking back with me. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX YYYY@YYYY
helps some too.
