A: Stop talking so much. Well, I have suffered from migraines for 29 years (I''m 45) and this does not sound like a migraine. There are other types of headaches that people suffer from: There''s the cluster headache, the tension headache, the sinus headache and the icepick headache. There are probably other types that I''m not aware of. My son used to get icepick headaches. That name comes from the feeling that the sufferer experiences when these come on. It feels as if someone is literally stabbing you in the head with an icepick. It comes on suddenly and can last a short time or a long time. I''ve heard that cluster headaches are headaches that are severe in intensity and can come and then leave and then a short time later, come back again. They come in clusters, so to speak.

A: The human body has many ways of noting when something is off or just not right. Body aches are one way that the body communicates when something is potentially wrong. The cause of body aches can be no cause for alarm; however, chronic aches all over the body can manifest as an infection, invading pathogen, or other severe biological ailments.. Body aches tend to be a common occurrence post-workout. After rigorous exercise, the body will try to recuperate, actively trying to repair the small tears in the muscles caused by the constant motion body exercises. The healing of these tears will result in bigger and stronger muscles. Aches all over the body is just part of the package for individuals who work out rigorously.. The onset of infectious diseases like the common cold or influenza will...
