I get both migraines & neck headaches & there is a definite difference. My migraines are hormone driven & the pain is quite different than my typical am neck headache.

My headaches are less frequent (knocking on wood) since I started taking a Soma at night. I still rely on the ice pack on my neck.

My lumbar issues are the big concern for my doctors. My cervical MRI shows "moderate" arthritis & DDD, with no nerve compression, so nobody pays any attention to my neck.
