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!

(m)\n\nApply heat directly to neck maybe a heating pad 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a day. Long, hot shower with the water beating on the neck, slowly turn head side to side looking over each shoulder until the count of five. Repeat three times. Apply topical cream such as icy hot or tiger balm. Shut bedroom window because cold breezes may cause awkward positioning to keep warm resulting in a stiff neck. Get a proper pillow. Reserve couch for sitting, alot of times there is not enough room to lie down resulting in stiff neck. If the pain persists after this, make an appointment with your doctor.

I recommend checking your pillows.  If you are sleeping on too many then your head gets jacked up all night and can cause stress and pulling on the muscles at the back of your head giving you a tension headache.  Get a very flat pillow.  Roll up a medium sized towel and tie it so it stays rolled up.  Place the towel on your bed and place the pillow over the top of it.  Lay on it so the towel falls right in the curve of your neck.  This will allow the proper support for the curve of your neck and help prevent tension headaches.  You can experiment with the size of the towel roll to find out what size is right for your particular neck.  You will need to sleep on your back for this to work.\n\nYou can try hanging your head over the edge of your bed to facilitate a curve in your neck as well.  Do not do this if you have high blood pressure or other balance problems unless you first consult a professional.  Don't do this for more than 3 minutes.  It will help stretch out your spine.  \n\nIt could also be due to grinding your teeth in your sleep.  See a Chiropractor.  They will be able to help you determine if it is your posture while sleeping that is causing the headaches.  I can say from personal experience, I rarely get headaches anymore from sleeping (I used to get them all the time) since I get adjusted regularly now.  I have also helped many patients with the same problem.

Experts say one of the main causes of headaches is stress, and to get headache relief you have to learn to deal with the stress in your life. Everyone has stress; some stress is good, like a new baby, job, or house, while some is bad, like a failing relationship or a boss that you don't get along with. Here are three tips to help you deal with stress and get some headache relief.\n\nKeep a journal and record what's going on in your life, especially when you get a headache. You'll be able to see what situations cause you the most stress and which cause headaches for you. You'll also feel better when you get things off your chest. You may be able to avoid those situations that are most stressful, or you can find a way to deal with them.\n\nAnother way to get headache relief is to take good care of yourself. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, get enough rest, quit smoking, and limit your alcohol and caffeine intake. All of these actions will help you feel better and make you less likely to get a headache in the first place and more able to handle stress.\n\nSpend time with yourself. Set aside time everyday, even if it's just five minutes, to relax and do whatever you want. Read, soak in a hot tub, or meditate. You'll feel more relaxed, and when you're more relaxed, you're less likely to get a headache.

your back is tense and stress will add to the pain too.  you need to stretch the muscles out and put ice on it. slowly put your head from one side to the other and gently stretch for 25 seconds. repeat on the other side.  take some tynelos or ibuprofen if it does not go away. ice helps too.   hope you feel better!

I have 2 slipped discs in my neck and was using a heating pad.  I found out that made it worse.  Now I use an ice pack.  It takes the swelling down around the nerves and helps with the pain.  Just remember not to leave it on very long.

For the lower muscular pain, try laying back on a volleyball or soccer ball. With your pelvis off the ground, balance yourself with your feet flat on the floor, and shoulders/arms. Roll yourself around on the ball. When you find a particularly "ouchy" spot kind of hover over that area. It is surprisingly effective in ironing out sore back muscles.\n\nFor the neck, this trick is better done by a friend, but you can do it yourself if you have to: Pinch the meaty part of the neck firmly between your fingers and the palm of your hand (try not to use the tips of your fingers, but instead use the "palms" of your fingers). Hold this for about a minute. Then do the same thing to both muscles on each side of the neck called the trapezius muscles. This is an acupressure technique that is very effective.
