Tense..?

[1_21Guns]

Well basically whenever I come home after being away for a few days, I start getting really bad headaches, or stabbing pains in the lower back of my head, it's got worse this time around I actually feel like my neck is tensed and I can't untense it, and earlier today my arm seemed to have the same issue at my elbow, I couldn't bend it back much because it felt like the muscle was already too tensed.
I mentioned the headaches at the doctors a few weeks ago and she thought they were tension headaches caused by me being tense without really knowing about it, but now it's starting to feel a lot worse even though it is sort of on and off, so maybe I should go back? Just wondering if anyone's ever been so 'tense' it's caused them physical pain.

Does it happen at a certain time of the time? Morning? Mid-day? Night? After / before meals? After / before taking your daily medications? etc...

Tension headaches seem to be the most likely cause for this. However, I would also ask them about your medications. I was having the same issue several months ago after taking a medication for years! I went to the doctor and they said that a medication I was on caused muscle tension, especially in the back of the neck! The one that I was on that was causing it was called Resperidol. They gave me a muscle relaxer to take at night, and problem was solved!

Look side effects for each of your medications online, then maybe schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor and ask them if any of your medications might cause it.

Hope this helps,
