its like once a week the thing pops and grates and then feels better
and looser, for about an hour, and then starts to stiffen up and get
sore, then
the next day the headache is back in full effect, with the same side
cramping up. I dont know what the hell is wrong with me, the things
that
are supposed to be my only hope arent working.
