Why when you dream about getting hurt and then waking up and that same spot hurting?
For the past couple of nights I have been having bad dreams about this guy coming around with a knife and cutting me on my right arm(on the biceps muscle), across my stomach and my left thigh. And then when I wake up one out of the three spot hurt really bad. It hurts just as bad as it did in my dreams but through out the whole day the spot where I got cut would hurt and just not stop. Why is that? Is something wrong or is this just normal?
Why has my head been hurting so bad for the past 2 weeks?
Headaches are caused by tight neck muscles. The muscles go to the top of your head where they connect to muscles going around your head. When the neck muscles get tight they pull the head muscles into pain and that's your headache. A muscle can have a spasm in it to keep the pain around this long. When someone says the headaches are stress related they are partially correct. When stressed we tense up, tight up our neck muscles, and then the headache is on, but not without the neck muscles being a part of it. To get rid of your headache you have to free up your neck muscles which if they aren't too tight, this home release will do for you: Neck: Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle, behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck extended (lowered) for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
What does a headache occurring often and in the same place on the head mean?
Please understand that Dr Michael Soso is the expert headache guy on this forum. I am a dentist who has an interest in head and neck pain stemming from a chance meeting with a woman named Janet Travell. She was an expert in muscle pain and its resolution. After her teaching I was grandfathered into the American Academy of Pain Management.Interestingly one of the reasons I got interested in pain management was because my mother suffered from fortnightly migraines for most of my childhood. Many remedies were tried without success. She was finally relieved of her pain when at the age of 55 she died of Malignant Melanoma of the brain stem. A very unusual occurrence, in fact the only time a patient or aquaintance ever actually had a brain tumour.Now about your headaches. Most headaches and indeed most pains in the body are of muscular origin. If you have a headache in a specific position the causative muscle can be determined by referring to the charts drawn by Dr Janet Travell, by your history and by palpation. The spasmodic muscle will refer pain to a distant site that is muscle and site specific. By relaxing and retraining that muscle one can resolve the pain. Google Myofascial pain of the head and look at the images and you will be guided to the appropriate muscle. Pinch the muscle and you will find it to be painful, but also the headache will usually change and may even go away. A great parlour trick is to put clothes peg on the skin over a trigger point and watch the look on the patients face when they realise the pain has gone.If this occurs then you can go find someone to treat it. There are ultrasound clinics springing up to kill trigger points because they show up on the ultrasound. The technique is called ultrasound guided trigger point injection. The other technique is to have a good sense of touch and a good aim with a needle.Today I travelled 130km to Perth to meet with my Trigger point needler. I have been crippled with low back pain for the past 2 weeks, with time off work and being on codeine 24/7. After 30 minutes with her I am now totally pain free. Best $80 I have spent in a long time.Here are some charts of head pain that are felt as headache and below that some of the muscles my therapist needled to day for my low back pain.

Every time I wake up in the morning, I get toothaches. Why is that?
Save on pet insurance with Pets Best!Learn MoreWhen you suffer from a sinus infection, youll almost certainly feel pain in your head and nose. This type of discomfort can surface in your teeth, given that your sinuses are above your teeth. Keep in mind that a sinus infection doesnt typically cause an isolated toothache in one single tooth. Instead, an infection usually leads to more general discomfort in your upper back teeth.Source: Do You Know You Can Reverse Your Teeth Cavities Naturally?Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, ranges in seriousness from minor inflammation to major tissue and tooth loss. Periodontal disease results from plaque hardening on your teeth and leading to tartar buildup, which irritates your gums and gradually causes them to pull away.If you notice gum inflammation or discomfort, visit your dentist as soon as possible. Only a professional dental cleaning can remove tartar, and your dentist can also recommend extra care for your gums and teeth.In some cases, the way you sleep can lead to discomfort in your teeth and jaw. For instance, sleeping with your hand directly under your jaw can cause discomfort, especially if you wear rings or bracelets while you slumber.If you suspect your sleeping position is the prime contributor to the soreness in your teeth, take note of where the pain feels most intense. Soreness concentrated on one side of your mouth could signal that your typical sleeping position is the culprit.To lessen the chances of your hand or other hard objects causing discomfort, remove all jewelry before sleeping. Place a supportive pillow directly underneath your head and try not to allow your hands to touch your face while sleeping.Along with overnight and morning pain, teeth grinding can lead to other problems, such as eroded tooth enamel and damaged fillings and crowns. If you think you suffer from bruxism, schedule a visit with your dentist and explore some solutions, such as wearing a mouthguard while you sleep.Waking up with soreness in your teeth or jaw isnt pleasant. In most cases, however, you can easily determine the culprit. If you suspect teeth grinding, gum disease, or cavities are causing your oral distress, consult with your dentist to find a healthy solution.Guardian has been a trusted name in insurance for over 155 years.

What can happen if I cut over the same spot too many times?
Yeah, it doesn't heal as well. It depends on the severity of the cuts, but generally speaking, scar tissue doesn't repair itself very quickly or very well. It sounds like you're a cutter... and if you are, whatever, I won't judge. I used to cut too. I can see how it would seem advantageous to cut over the same spot, because you could keep it hidden or just pretend that it was the same cut... but really, don't. If you must cut, alternate places, or else you might find that the wound (particularly if it is a deep one) does not heal. For instance, I have a large scar above my left hip from a non-self-injury laceration. Although it happened almost five years ago, the scar is still really obvious. It has gotten scratched/cut accidentally, and even though it was minor, it healed much more slowly.
The left side of my head hurts when I move around. What could it be?
Fun fact of the day : you have no pain or sensory receptors in your brain. So you can't actually feel damage to the brain , even if a giant parasitic worm is eating it as we speak. This is also why we can do awake open brain surgery.The closest sensory receptors to the brain are in the covering over the brain (the meninges). These bit has blood vessels , dura , fibrous tissue and the works. In fact, when people get migraines , the pain is often coming from blood vessel pain receptors in the meninges and definitely not coming from inside any hemisphere of the brain .Now it's completely possible to shake your head so hard that you bruise the brain (this is why people who shake their babies are often thrown in jail). The brain sort of floats in the skull cavity and there is room for compression . This is less of a problem for side to side shaking and more a problem for front to back shaking because along the back of the skull where the occipital lobe rests are ridges which can tear into the occipital lobe if the brain is shaken hard. But like I said, even if you were shaken so hard (like on a poorly designed roller-coaster, or car accident ) that you ripped your occipital lobe on the back of your skull, you still wouldn't feel it. So as to why one side of your head feels different than the other : all I can say is the problem is most likely not in your brain. It could be due to oversensativity in the meninges . It could also be from something in the inner ear.
