Combinations of Pain:
In many cases one type of pain can cause pain from other sources. For example, if you have nerve damage, the tendency is to tense the surrounding muscles, which then causes its own level of pain. The tight muscles can then cause compression in the joint spaces that cause bone pain. The combination of all these types of pain can literally be over whelming. Where to start to resolve this situation depends on several factors. If there is nerve damage, get medical treatment. Once this has been addressed have someone work with the soft tissue - either a neuromuscular therapist or a somatic educator. If the bones are the main cause, have it looked at, then address the soft tissue.

Headaches
Depending on their origin headaches can be one of the most debilitating types of pain. They often force one into the isolation of complete darkness and silence. Because headaches can come from so many sources which require different types of treatment I recommend the following link as an excellent resource. The guiding philosophy is to always reserve invasive procedures as last resort, but when necessary, apply the procedure that most suits the patient's specific problem to ensure the best outcome.
