Neck hurting minor headache in the back of head... brain tumor? please read!?
For a couple of years, I've had a really bad neck. I formerly went to the doctors in Jan and they told me to go to a Pt to stretch it out. I did and did the excercise they gave me. However I did not do them that often like they told me too. A couple of weeks ago I found out that Only when i turned my head to the left and back forward to the front, I could here a little crack or pop in my neck (cervical spine area)... Ever since then my neck/shoulder area kinda has been really poor even after I stretch. I can never sit in place for more than a minute because of my neck. Another things that has recently appeared was that this pain was kind of getting worse.. Not only can i keep my neck still when watching a film or sitting down, but I did not sleep very well (lack of sleep).. In the morning i constantly would have stiff neck and minor headaches. Sometimes these symptoms would go away if i do somethign that gets my mind off of it. I have full range of motion its just that left side of the neck/shoulder isnt going away. I've taken a muscle relaxant and advil but dont want to be dependent on it.... I have read that neck pains may cause a brain tumor? I am worried? do i have it?

complex vitamins
The Vitamin B Complex comprises of the fundamental B Vitamins - Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12 plus the vitamins Biotin, Choline and Inositol. Vitamin B Complex is needed for the proper functioning of nearly every process in the body. Here are my 5 top reasons you need to receive plenty of B Complex vitamins in your diet.
1. Energy Production
Vitamin B1 is needed to help convert the carbohydrates we eat into glucose. The following B Vitamins are needed at a cellular level to convert glucose into energy - Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 and Biotin. A Vitamin B deficiency in any of these vitamins can lead to decreased energy production, lethargy and fatigue.
2. Healthy Nervous system
The Vitamin B Complex is fundamental for the healthy functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B5 is needed for the correct functioning of the adrenal glands and the production of some hormones and nerve regulating substances. Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are essential for the regulation and correct functioning of the entire nervous system including brain function. Vitamin B9 is essential to prevent neural tube defects to the foetus during pregnancy. A deficiency in any of the Vitamin B Complex vitamins can lead to feeling stressed, anxious and depressed.
3. Good Digestion
The Vitamin B Complex is essential for correct digestion, production of Hcl (hydrochloric acid) and to assist in the breakdown of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Particularly vital for good digestion are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B6. A deficiency in any of these B Vitamins can lead to impaired digestion and deficiency of fundamental nutrients.
4.Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails
The Vitamin B Complex is essential for correct Rna and Dna synthesis and cell reproduction. As our Skin, Hair and Nails are constantly growing and renewing themselves we need the following B vitamins to ensure the good health of these structures - Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, Biotin and Choline. Deficiencies of any of these B Vitamins can lead to dry, grey skin, dermatitis, wrinkles, acne, rashes, falling hair and weak, splitting nails. 5. Synergy
The B Vitamins work so closely with one other that a deficiency in any one B Vitamin can lead to poor functioning of any or all of the others even whether they are in good provide. Always take the B Vitamins in a Complex and then top up with any individual Vitamin B, if needed.
Extra Gratuity
B Vitamins are water-soluble which means any excess will be excreted through the urine. This also means that B Vitamins need to be taken on a daily basis, as the only one we can store is Vitamin B12. Taking a high dose Vitamin B Complex (50mg - 100mg) daily can turn urine a bright fluorescent, this is perfectly safe and normal so don't be alarmed!
