Ouch. Poor baby, that must have hurt. I would say you should try to sleep as best you can and see how you are in the morning. If it still hurts you might should go get it looked at, either by a chiropractor or an MD.

try using a heating pad or taking a hot shower. If this still persist, see a Chiropractor ASAP.

I get knots on my left side.  It feels as if its under my shoulder blade.  I don't know if it is the same thing, but my massouse decided that I was sleeping wrong.  I slept with one arm under my pillow and it obviously kept my muscles tight up there.  I also lift my toddler everyday which doesn't help,  To help myself, I've just tried to relax my upper back and neck everytime I feel myself holding my shoulders up.  It's working so far.

Sleep on an extra pillow to elevate your head.  Sleep on the side that does NOT have a toothache.  If that doesn't work, you can move to a recliner or the sofa so you can keep your head really elevated.  This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain.  This might help you make it through the night until you can see a dentist.\n\nTry an ice pack, also.  If that hurts, switch to heat.  Sorry for the guess, but I'd start with ice, which would calm an abscess.  You can even rinse with ice water.  Have some warm water standing by the first time you try it, though!

Not to panic, but these are symptoms consistent with very serious conditions including aneurysm or hydracephelus promarily. If I were you I would get to the ER for a brain CT STAT. Seriously dont wait if the pain hasnt subsided with analgesics it could be very critical. Let me know if you have more questions mcc_md@yahoo.com

Only your physician can make an accurate diagnoses but if I take a guess I would urge you to check your pillow.  Does the headache end when you get up?  This might be because of wrong pillow height.  Also do you have arthritis in your neck?  That can be another source and can usually be helped by finding the best sleeping position for you.  As I said these are only guesses and if it persists I urge you to see your physician.

You might have a pinched nerve in your neck.  Go see a chiropractor.

I don't know all the factors that lead to it so I might not be right. I've had neck pain before because I kept cracking my neck. The more I did it, the more I wanted to do it becasue it felt good. Then it started hurting really bad so I stopped. Another reason, and most likely, is that you have not been getting enough water and, believe it or not, sugar. Not caffeine, you need sugar and water. If you get that headachey feeling when you get up after lying down for a while and your head hurts, then you need more sugar and water. The water should reduce your fever and if you have some vitamins it should help even more. The sugar is for your headaches. Caffeine often "battles" with your head because you try to stay up longer while your body tries to sleep. Headaches are the side-effects of coffee for sure! Sugar, as in fruit sugar and not chocolate sugar, if used as the quick energy boost and can be used to help repair and relieve pain very quickly, but it can't be stored in the body for long, so eat lots of fruit!\nSo in the end, the one thing I'm gonna prescribe to you is an orange. Eat one or two a day and you will get all teh water, vitamins, and suagr you will need. If it doesn't help, call a real doctor.

Yes the blood in your system is racing to your broken area to heal it and the pain probably is also causing you to experience this.  Take some pain medicine and relax

A friend of mine told me to put ice in a wash cloth and fold it up and hold it against your neck and lay down for 30 minutes...it's supposed to open up your blood vessels..maybe you should get a MRI or a CT scan to have your headaches checked out. or trying having someone give you a back/neck message to relieve the tension?

The only thing I can think of is stress.  You probably want to go to a doctor to have it checked out though.  I have a similar problem.  My neck twitches and sometimes my back does too.  Another thing is that they only seem to do it when I think about it.  It's hard not to think about it though.  It's really annoying and I hope you get better from it.  Another thing to think about is that I do have an anxiety disorder so sometimes that makes me stressed out to.  Hope you feel better:)

The blood does rush to my head and even though i have been here for all 16 years of my life it does get uncomfortable sometimes (or that could just be a migrane). I did try to aleviate this pain a little while back and lied down with my head pointing up, but all the blood went away from my head and I blacked out. I have since decided to keep the blood in my head so that inconveniences like that don't happen again.

I would suggest getting a second opinion and have the area imaged using CT or MRI to see what is going on.  While the second doctor may say that it's nothing also, I certainly wouldn't depend on just one opinion.\n\nbest of luck and feel  better.

I thought I was the only one that had this! I can never tell if it's from my sinuses or from my neck. Sometimes the base of my neck hurts and the muscles that wrap around that side of my head hurt-right up to the eye/forehead/nasal area. I do have sinus problems though, and sometimes I am stuffy when this happens, so I never know what to think. Also I clench my jaw and it could be a TMJ thing too. I'd also like to hear other people's opinions on this!
