Stiff neck and headache
From few days due to stiff neck i feel tightness of nerves in head which has been causing headache continuously and when i tried to wash(hot water) my hair my head was feeling extremely tight(top and back of head) and unbearable throbbing pain. I've been taking the meds from my local ENT. What could be the reason of neck and head nerves tightening up while taking shower? Thanks in advance.
