Hi All,

I honestly take advil like it’s candy unfortunately. For many years, I have had knots in my neck and neck tension that just won’t go away even if I receive a massage or give myself one. I feel like the tension in my neck causes a headache to come on, or the sensation of one at least if it goes untreated with advil. I also realize that sometimes one of advil’s side effects after taking it, is, ironically enough, more headaches… one has to find humor in such a situation. I realize it could be some kind of pinched nerve causing these unwanted tight feelings and knots. When I was younger, I had a head MRI to attempt to find the cause of my frequent headaches. The result came back clean, which I am grateful for. I have tried mixing carrier oil and essential oil that have been specifically for headache ease. No reprieve. I have held off on purchasing CBD oil as I am afraid it will cause trace amounts of THC in the body, as even though it is legal by federal standards if the percentage is below .03% I believe, I don’t want to take a chance especially in higher doses of CBD it can obviously increase the trace amounts of THC in it. In years past I have also smoked mj which made me feel better psychologically, but my headaches always came back normally. For the record, 99% of the time, they are not migraines and/or debilitating painful; just annoying and makes me reach for advil every time to put a stop to them, a conditioned response I suppose.

Any thoughts or solutions on what anyone else does to relieve neck and head pain? I suppose taking a dip in a hot tub or spending more time in nature may help, but it just seems that no matter what I do to promote more wellness and relaxation into my life, my headaches still stick with me like an annoying mosquito you just cannot shake or get rid of… we all I’m sure are familiar with that at some point in our lives 🙂

Any and all thoughts welcome! Thank you!
