50+ Day Headache any input?????????

I am now on day 51 of my headache I don't add the s because it hasn't gone away its been covered up but never gone. My primary pain is front right side, with a vise vise like effect between the front and back mostly on the right side. The Docs keep on trying migraine treatments on me none have worked, also things like light and noise don't make it worse. It started on sunday in mid september for the first week I tried every OTC remedy I could find, every morning stop at walgreens on the way to work nothing helped finally that friday I went to the walk-in clinic in the evening I have no history of headaches and have never had a problem like that before hell I even told the Doc I was embarrassed about showing up at the clinic over a headache. They assured me that it is quite normal for people to do and sent me out the door with a scrip for vicodin. The vic took the edge off but did get rid of the headache just made it tolerable. Since then I have been given more different meds to try than I can keep track of. The only thing that I got real relief from was percocet, but when I was turned over to the neurolgist he narcotics are not good for headaches so I went back to constant pain.I have had a CT, a CTA, and an MRI, as well as several diff. blood tests all normal, next test is a spinal tap they say. I sleep, not well, I work but its a struggle. I had no signifigant event to set off this headache either, I just really don't think its a migraine if anyone has any suggestions I could toss a my neuro I would appreciate it greatly. Also that quack has got me on topamax for almost 4 weeks now. I think that stuff is messing me up bad. I zone out alot, my right hand has developed a wicked bad shake(i'm right handed and work with electriciy, blew up a screwdriver last week).I'm constantly tired and fatigued all that and still have the headache.

Re: 50+ Day Headache any input?????????

Hi Quanto, Ask your doc to take an x-ray of your cervical neck. I have arthritis of the cervical neck. I have the same type of headache you have, right sided, feels like a vise grip on it. Had the headaches for years, take ibuprofen 800 mg. It is the only thing that comes close to helping, except for the one time the Neuro gave me Elavil. It worked like a dream for a year, then it stopped working. I have other problems that can make the headache worse, so I am now on lyrica, cymbalta, flexeril and still have plenty of ibuprofen handy for when it gets bad, but for the most part, I think the flexeril really helps.

Hey QUANTO, Let us know how you are doing. I know that sometimes nothing works for me either, I guess we just have to put up with it, but hopefully you will get some relief soon, I can almost put up with anything else, but the headaches just do me under.

Take care,
Sunny

Re: 50+ Day Headache any input?????????

Quanto, it seems like i have the same problem. i also have a headache every day and it sometimes turns into a migraine. almost every day i wake up with an excruciating headache and i don't even want to get up. i have talked to a doctor but never really pursued it very far. don't really want to pay the money. OTCs don't really work. If you find out anything about it please post cause i think ours might be similar. Keep hangin' in there.
