Any Ideas About Chronic Low Back Pain, Headache, Neck Pain, And Neck Swelling?

Hi I am a 27 year old white female. I have been a chronic low back pain sufferer for 8 years. I have 4 bulging disc, 2 bilateral par defect fractures, disc and joint degeneration. I have 3 children, all of which i carried within a 5 year period. About 3-4 months ago I began getting very tense headaches, some worse than others, accompianed by mild to moderate neck pain, as well as swelling in my neck, and like a knot or very hard feeling beneath the skin. the headaches have been accuring more often latley. I get atleast 1 every 24-36 hours, it starts out very dull and the course of the day becomes so intense at times I have to turn the lights out and massage my temples, and neck. Any ideas?

Looks like your spine is having lots of Degeneration. Your stress is contributing in neck pain and headache. I would recommend you back muscles physiotherapy. Apart from that avoid stress, take 8 hours good sleep. Take vitamins and calcium in diet. If pain is severe use local ointment than tablets as side effects of former is less.
