I'm 26 - female.

I've recently been experiencing these headaches that are around my eyeballs and in my temples. It's a constant dull ache, not pounding. I have one everyday. They aren't there when I wake up, but occur after I've been up for a while. I've had one everyday for 2 weeks. Neuro gave me Mobic and Maxalt to help, but they don't work that well for me.

Has anyone experienced these? If so, I'd like to hear about it.

It sounds like sinus - have your tried a sudafed?? That always helps me.

Good luck!

YES!!! I've experienced this every single day since I can remember. Don't rely on over the counter drugs. They will only cause a rebound effect. Try a chiropractor and see if this helps. Go for the MRI/Cat-Scan if symptoms persist. I too have this and have been to a billion different doctors. Both ENT's said my sinuses were clear (even though sinus meds help). Just please don't rely on OTC drugs - they will only mask symptoms and make the pain worse in the long run! Don't give up until you find something that works! Good luck to you.
