Terribly headaches! Is this okay? (And what can ease pain?)?!
Question: Since forever, I have had tear-jerking headaches that feel like a knife was just pierced into the brain! It's, like, on the very back of your head where it's a hump and it's above the neck... know what I'm talking about? anyway, it has made me lose focus on a lot of things. Is this okay, and what can help ease the pain? (besides ibuprofen, that doesn't work very well on me)

It really doesn't sound like you are having migrains, but are having tension or stress headaches..If you have something that is or has been bothering you try to resolve it,i know it is an easy thing to say but not to do. There are several ways to try to help releave the headache ,try aleave, exdrin or even tylenol..Or you can simply try relaxing with aroma therapy and a nice hot bath.Another thing to take into concideration is are you getting enough sleep,cause if you are not it can cause alot of headaches..if none of these things work for you i would really suggest seeing a dr.
That headache sounds exactly like a 'tension headache' Try to relax more and make sure your pillow is comfortable in your bed, in case it's coming from the neck area. Take painkillers and keep it warm in the icy weather.
Ibuprofen may not be the tablet for it. Try others even the paracetamol is a good one.
Get this checked out by your Dr!
Try cool and sooth migraine sheets for your forehead, i know it doesn't sound like a migraine but the sheets do help and also effervessant painkillers sush as co-codamol or solpadoll as they get to work faster than tablets.
Good luck!
