What could be causing my recurring right-sided headache, neck, and shoulder pain that hurts more when I turn my head, and should I get another head scan or continue taking Tryptomer 10 mg since the pain keeps coming back?
Your symptoms, especially pain worsening with head movement, point toward a cervicogenic headache or neck muscle strain rather than a brain-related issue. Since you have had a prior scan, another head scan may not be immediately necessary, though a neck evaluation could be highly beneficial. Tryptomer (amitriptyline) is excellent for preventing chronic pain, but 10 mg is a low starting dose and may need time or adjustment by your doctor to be fully effective. Please continue taking it as prescribed and consult your physician about your progress. Gentle physical therapy or neck stretches could also offer great relief.
