I forgot to add, another thing that really helps is putting alot of pressure and rubbing in a circular motion on the back of my neck (up high on my neck, at the very top, right below the head) with my fingertips. Kind of rub in a circular motion while "pinching" your fingers in and out applying alot of pressure (it's hard to explain without actually demonstrating it lol

) like someone would do if they were rubbing, or massaging their temples. It REALLY helps relieve alot of the tension/pain. I was even told to do this by a doctor once but I was already doing it - so obviously doctors recommend it too. Really helps!
