I'd rate my head/neck pain a 4 (1-10 scale) at its worst on a daily basis, from about 10 a.m. until I go to bed. All I take at this point is an anti-inflammatory, and not really sure how much good that does.

I used to take a muscle relaxer but it seemed all that did was make me dizzy. I think if my pain ever ramped up really high, my neurologist would prescribe a narcotic (very conservatively, as I have a history of "opioid dependence," per my medical records).
