Oh how I feel for you..I have suffered with these types of headaches for 30 years, no kidding....after going through physical therapy, chiropractic, traction, massage therapy, trigger point injections, epidurals, etc. and seeing every kind of expert out there, they all said I had a very bad neck, bulging discs, etc. arthritis, etc. I also get nauseous, vertigo and feel like there is a hot poker stabbing me in the neck and the pain goes up into my head and sometimes feels like my eye is bulging out. About ten years ago I took my 10 yr. old daughter to the ENT thinking her headaches were sinus headaches and after a sinus scan, etc. he concurred they were migraines and when I told him about all my NECK pain and the head pain he said they were migraines..So I went to my GP and told her what he said and after 20 years of pain (at that time) my GP said she would give me Imitrex for migraines and if it worked when I had that neck pain, then it was a true migraine...One week later it started up in my neck and I thought I was going to throw up from the pain and my head didn't even hurt yet, but I took the Imitrex and within an hour it got better and ten years later I feel like a commercial because it has changed my life. Mind you I still have lots of neck trouble, but FINALLY the doctors I have seen since realize that I am getting migraines starting in my NECK from a PHYSICAL cause, my NECK and thankfully at least when it gets too bad I can take Imitrex to help get through. I hope this might help you!
