I'm so happy for you. I'm hoping you can help me. I too have done everything you have to try and rid the pain. I've had a chronic tension headache 24 hours a day for 10 years. I was not in a car accident, I just woke up 1 night with an odd type of headache. The asprin never took the headache away. I have tried all treatments and had tests run such as MRI, CatScan, acupressure, acupunture, several Dr.'s, bio-feedback, Botox, physcial therapy, some sort of injections in my next, chiropractor and so many medications I can't remember all of the names. I was left feeling by several different Dr.'s that they thought my pain was not real, rather "was in my head" and I wasnt dealing with some sort of issues I had in my life.
Any help with what direction you took that I havent would be very helpful.
