Once however when I had a bad sinus headache, my husband tried pressing all the trigger points on my face which were supposed to help and then finally pressed one on the top of my head of all places and it helped! I think that was referred pain or something...? Nerves must be strange things...anyway, best wishes to you for pain relief!
