Hi everyone! I am currently a Master Student in Leiden University. I had tension headaches (tensed muscles on top of shoulders and neck, spreading to back of my head and come to the front) for several weeks (I think it's been a month for now) and the painkiller also paracetamol/aspirin do not cure the pain at all. I went to doctors twice and both of them suggested me to only consume paracetamol. I also tried to scrub and gently self-massage the tensed muscles with analgesic balm and still not helped. I also exercised but still there is no result. Since the paracetamol does not work, I am suggested by my friend to consume vitamin B complex and Magnesium. But yes still no improvements. The tension stays.
I researched from google that peppermint oil and some other essential oils would help and I never tried that treatment before. Or probably is there any physiotherapist/massage/acupuncture that could help in Leiden? I really need suggestions if you probably had the same experience.
