Any tips for how to avoid this thanks

I went to a physical therapist some years ago, for a problem with my shoulder. One day I showed him an unusual arm movement that caused pain in my shoulder...you know, "when I do this it hurts" type of thing.

I remember his response and think it applies here:

"Well, don't do that!"

I’ve come back for another look at this thread for the 500th time today to see how the OP is coping and whether his ‘hand injury’ is improving.

Having done so, I now have a problem myself.....

My head hurts.

What should I do?

Caffeine expands blood vessels so can reduce headaches. Over half of the population on Earth takes caffeine on an almost daily basis.
