my head still hurts

I have now had an intense headache for 2 weeks straight. That's 14 days of my brain throbbing, stabbing the back of my eyes. Also, my back has now hurt for 7 days straight. I couldn't walk the other day, I couldn't lift my arms either.

Try explaining pain to someone who has only ever had a mild tension headache in their life, and you'll find it's impossible. It's hard to explain the way pain infiltrates your thoughts and makes it impossible to think, to see or to even form a coherent sentence. At the same time you feel like your skin is being ripped from the top of your head and someone is pushing your feet up through your skull - like making a mango porcupine.
