The weight on the traps, though, probably plays a part. Sigh. I'm being good and using two feet, Liz. I know it's for the best... :-) Yup, definitely think it’s FBH-related, though not *directly* so (I don’t feel my ankle bone during the pose). The weight on the traps, though, probably plays a part.

I haven't had pain like you describe, but when I stop doing FBH and then go back to regular FBH, I get it from the base of the skull to the shoulderblades, the next day. I second V on this one.

That's what happened to me when I first started doing them. Neck muscles are really delicate and they go quite a bit far down into your back and shoulders.

Do not resist the two- footed entry into handstand! When I first dabbled in handstand, I had a teacher that let me cheat (that's right: CHEAT). I became fairly good at handstanding, but only when I could scissor kick. Then I went to a teacher who was more hardcore. She watched me scissor, catch the handstand and stay. She walked over, pushed me down (!!) and commanded, "Both legs". But you know, now I'm so very thankful. Your butt is not in control, your abs are (okay, and shoulders), and I know you have some tough abs, lady. Plus, that scissor kick business will make you lopsided.
