My experience-Tension headaches if I sit in a chair without heat against my back
This is something that's been going on for me since December. I recently started having back pain that was triggering tension headaches. I've chalked it up to assisting my father with putting snow tires on two cars in a very short window, one where I could not lift with my legs at various points. Sitting in a chair seems to be one of the consistent things to cause the headaches. That said, I got an X-Ray and MRI, and they didn't show any sort of damage or degeneration.
I've been getting physiotherapy, and the therapist said the issue is probably muscle-related. I've been doing the stretches she recommended for three months now, and while it has loosened up my muscles, the tension issue remains, and I can still feel this one hot spot on my back when I stretch. And while she did recommend "don't sit for longer than 30 minutes at a time", that's a difficult thing to do since my job is on a computer, and I'm also a computer gamer. Both require long bouts of sitting.
Weirdly, the headaches don't seem to happen (or at least they aren't nearly as strong) when I put an electric heating mat or microwavable gel pack against my back. Additionally, using a microwavable headband (it's filled with gel beads) is able to sometimes make the pain in my head subside.
My doctor prescribed me with Amitriptyline, which helped me to get through the initial back pain, but I've read that it can cause headaches as a side effect, so I wonder whether it's that. However, I haven't been told yet whether to ease off it or not, since it's not something you can just drop quickly.
Can I get some opinions or insight on my condition?
