Question
Hi

I have been having headaches and the back of my skull has been creaking which has been getting worse ever since I was bashed when walking back home by myself at night late July, I was hit on the back of the head and knocked unconscience

When I went to the hospital all they did was feel around my head to see if there where any breakages/cracks, I have gone to two doctors and both have done the same thing and they said that it should get better but it still hasn't.

I have been having pain medication but most of all it is really annoying constantly having headaches and am not sure what else to do about it.

If you could suggest something to do to stop these headaches occurring that would be great.

Thanks  

Answer
David,

Now that the doctors have ruled out fracture, what's left is the neuromuscular reflexive reaction to the blow:  muscular contractions at the neck and base of head.

You may read my article on headaches, which explains, at somatics.com/page4b.htm.

Contact me again if you want advice about getting help.

with regard,
Lawrence Gold
