    I have headaches daily which will turn into severe headache if I don't take something for pain.  And, at times I have the pins and needle sensations you are speaking of in my arms.  As for blurry vision, my vision is so poor anyway!  The last couple of weeks I have bad pain in my legs.  I am very frustrated with doctors now.  All they want to keep doing is test after test and  I am not getting answers.  I can't help but think sometimes that they really don't care and it's all about money with them.  So sorry Joyce for your pain and hope you get some relief soon.

      I have headaches 24/7 and blurred vision most days. It makes work difficult sometimes as I am a secretary so hard to concentrate too. I learned to live with it most days now

      No nothing works unless it's really strong painkillers from gp but they only make me drowsy so I can't take then as I work full time. I do get a bit relief after work when I get home and recline on my sofa and rest my neck. Gp might be able to give you something.

      Yeah I am at a computer for 8 hrs a day for 5 days. It does get difficult but then I spend my lunch hour on my own in a quiet room and rest my neck and close my eyes which helps me until I finish at 5pm. It does get easier if that's the word. I have learned to live with it a bit better and I dont let it get to me so much now. Night times are the worst for my back though. Do you sleep well Joyce??

      I, too, am on a computer five days a week, 7 hours a day. I do get headaches sometimes during the day, especially if I don't eat, but mine are worse at night. I wake up every night with a pounding hradache. Imiitrex once worked, but lately not so much. Yes, it does wear me down. Fortunately, I have an understanding boss and coworkers.

    Hi.i consider pin needles, burning and headache partly because our muscles goninto spasm. So if you masage your neck only lightly with a mix if any oil and fry crushed garlic in it.then add tumeric powder, black seed or black seed oil or both and apply warm it might help . remember we only needlight masage at nneck.do not fotget to do exercises advice by physiotherapists.

    The symptoms you describe are inkeeping with cervical spondylosis - you may need a cervical MRI scan. I help run a group with over 800 members on Facebook its called Cervical Myelopathy support Group - you are all most welcome to join. Many of our members also suffer with cervicogenic headaches
