No, dear, the pain was--and IS--in my NECK! C-Spine, to be exact. In fact, when they did an MRI of my head along with my neck it proved to be normal.
Hypnosis works to ease the pain because it's possible for we who have SOME intellect to overpower the pain using our brains. I'm sure it would never work for you, though. And there are times when I still need pretty darned potent pain meds.
You see, Mr. Idiot, I HAD blown discs for decades--three decades, to be exact--and since doctors like so very much to tell women (just as you did) that our pain is in our heads, no one treated it until I had permanent nerve damage. At that point they did one of the most painful surgeries a human can endure, a three-level laminectomy in which they removed bone from my spinal column to relieve the pressure on my spinal cord.
Eighteen months (and a HUGE amount of pain!) later, after moving across 2/3 of the country and waiting for hope of improvement, I had a second spinal surgery in which two of those discs were removed (the third was marginal, but I wish he'd just DONE it!) and cadaver bone and a titanium plate were inserted to stabilize the whole mess.
It was two years after THAT when I finally gave in and sought alternative pain management because jerks like YOU made my docs look at me crosseyed when I asked for more meds. I was skeptical as all getout, but incredibly thankful it worked for me.
And now I'd like very much for you to hurt your own back. I really would, and I don't wish back pain on ANYONE, as a rule. You, however, deserve it and the nerve damage that can accompany it. May your fingers tingle FOREVER!
Oh, and what's the name of your doctor, by the way? I'd like to arrange your doctor's arrest so you can experience withdrawal from these important meds you're enjoying so much!
