Hi,
Does your mother have
spondylosis of the neck vertabrae? This can cause chronic
headache as you have described as well as a host of other abnormal sensations (eg, numbness, sense of vibration) etc.
Other causes of chronic
headache include:
* Tension
headache (commonest cause of chronic
headaches).
*
Depression * Drugs (e.g. some blood pressure meds, some
heart attack meds, oral contraceptive, overuse of
analgesics).
