I cannot give medical advice, but I can tell you that any kind of pain can cause us to tense muscles and hold them in that position. That creates an environment rich for developing myofascial trigger points. Trigger points in the neck can sustain a headache beyond its normal course. As you know restless leg and periodic limb movement are thought to be due to a mix up in the brain, but this too can be aggravated or sustained by trigger points in our muscles, particularly the legs and feet. Here is an article I wrote on myofascial trigger points and chronic pain. It has several links, including some articles I wrote for Health Central. Wishing you the best. http://www.celestecooper.com/2015/07/myofascial-trigger-points-and-chronic.html#.Wvm8qogvzIWThe Pained Ink Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495729147432131238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069533709334209690.post-6456377264176983242018-05-11T07:33:55.346-07:002018-05-11T07:33:55.346-07:00I always enjoy reading your informative posts.

Would the information in this post also speak to these types of headaches? ~Kimkimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019422632863459956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069533709334209690.post-44752468612366025632015-04-20T06:47:09.042-07:002015-04-20T06:47:09.042-07:00Kirk, as you know, melatonin levels are what regul...Kirk, as you know, melatonin levels are what regulate our sleep, so while it seems more of it may help,that may not be the case. Since melatonin is a hormone, I would not suggest it without the supervision of a sleep specialist.
