My husband is 38 years old.  He has been complaining of a headache and numbness (more like his left side is tingling).  He had a bad car accident with face trauma about 6 yrs ago.  He also says if you massage his back between his scapula he feels so much better.  I am not sure what to do?
Obvious answer?  Massage his back between his scapulae.....AND DON'T STOP!  LOL..... I couldn't resist that one..... I cannot get my wife to KEEP massaging an area for very long...she says she gets tired... I will need to send her either to masseuse school or to a personal weight trainer!  HA! Well, in your husbands case; the headache to me is the major symptom here that we need to deal proactively with and the other symptoms will probably follow the treatment of that one.  I'm a headache specialist and run the Headache Clinic at the VA Hospital in Cleveland, OH, so I see a lot of this sort of thing. It seems that the headaches are likely chronic and could be a residual from the facial injury itself or something completely different. But you should get hooked up with a headache specialist is what I would say then, develop a good ongoing relationship with that doctor and ad Chat Doctor. If you would like to add
