I had a headache and stiff neck day and nite for almost 7 days, I went to emerg room cause I couldnt sleep,they gave me 14 lortab 5mg, and took ear wax out. These procedures did not help. I went to my dentist who said I might be grinding, got a bite guard for sleep, didnt help. Got back to Chicago and saw Dr Wolcott, for 2 appts 2 days in a row, then a third appt in 3 days.The first two included manipulation and acupuncture. When I came back for the third appt, I told him my symptoms were about 95% gone and I felt normal again. I will try to avoid the ER next time, they were quite rough on my ear drums and tried to hold me down with force, when I couldnt stand the pain. That really ticked me off!
