Im 22 and i have been getting head aches the right side of the back of my head. I went to the Doctor and he said the head aches are caused because of a muscle in my neck. I have bad posture sleep on my stomach and thought this cuased them. I am very nervous thinking its something else. Im pretty sure it has to do with my neck but then im not sure thinking its something else. I get a sound in my neck when i stretch it. I dont know im thinking about going to a chiropractor. But im nervous its something worse like a tumor or anerisym.
Help...

hm do you have any other symptoms? Like when you strain, even using the bathroom does it make your headaches worse.........I have no idea what is causing yours but I have Arnold Chiari Type I Malformation, my pain in the back of my head was on the right side and i'd get shooting pains thru to my eye sometimes. I had many other symptoms develop over time but the very first symptom I can remember is that pain in the back of my head on the right side. Good luck finding your cause!

hi joe2
i dont know if this will help, but ive been having similar symptoms. I noticed a lump at the base of my neck a couple of years ago. I am housebound, so i was unable to get it checked out by the doctor, but my mum said she knew someone with the same thing, and it was tension. I have anxiety so i thought it was probably tension caused by the anxiety.
I noticed more recently that is has gone 'further up' and sometimes its like i can feel something inside my head , just a couple of inches up from the base of my scalp on the right side, i know this has come from my neck, and it could be tension, as ive been under a lot of stress since i first noticed all this. Like yourself, i worried it could be something else like a tumour or anyeurism(sometimes i feel a build up of pressure, lke its going to 'burst') but yet have to see a doctor about this.
But reading your story, im wondering if it could be all tension related.
Im sure the doctor would have noticed if it was anything more serious.
I suppose you could always ask for a scan, just to put your mind at rest.
Hope this helps
