Constant Pain in Head - Never goes away - No answers. Ideas?

I have the same issue. Constant head tension. Mine is due to ehlers danlos syndrome. My neck is hypermobile and I have inner ear pain. It’s a hypermobility disorder caused by collagen that is more elastic. It affects everyone differently. Look it up…if you can do the hypermobility examples then talk to a dr. I recently added flexeril at night and it’s been a game changer for my head tension. I also have migraines and do Botox and daily a qulipta. Much improved if I keep up with the meds. Good luck!

@duvaldena sounds familiar. I have TMJ have to be careful how I chew . The left side mostly,jaw ,ear to side of head.,neck,shoulder. Lightheaded, In morning glittering effect in peripheral vision.I do have occipital neuralgia. Magnesium and B1 gummies help. Two 400mg before bed. Nervive roll on neck and up on head .Sit straight and do chin tuck to stretch same ,then turn to look at armpit area. Several times a day.
Maybe my pillow is to blame too?? Head posture important don't let your head hang down or looking down at your phone. All this comes from various doctors.I do use natural medicine. It helps .

@duvaldena That's very interesting. I have a version of EDS, everything but the skin elasticity. My neck mobility has shocked more than one person. I personally didn't get much help from flexiril. Skelaxin and Methocarbamol both help my muscle spasms. It does make sense that it would help migraines.. as relaxing muscles is the point of the Botox. Have you had a TMJ CT/MRI? EDS tends to change your jaw and cause teeth crowding. They can add Botox to the TMJ (joint) muscles. I have a feeling that's where your inner ear (technically middle ear) pain is coming from. It causes eustachian tube dysfunction that adds pressure and fluid to the middle ear. It can also mess with your balance. An ENT/oral surgeon consult could be beneficial. My Neuro couldn't get permanent authorization for the additional TMJ Botox. The oral surgery dept apparently is much more successful. I'm in that process right now.
