Hi Katie, I had neck, shoulder and headaches for years, the headaches kept increasing until I would have them everyday. My primary doc had a mri done and saw that I had 2 bulging disc in my neck, he also told me that would not cause my headaches. In the meantime, he sent me to a pain management doctor, I also have fibromyalgia, myofacial pain. She looked at my MRI and said most certainly that is causing my headaches. So now I get epidurals and in between the epidurals, I have trigger point injections. All of this had helped my headaches considerably, but keep in mind, anything I do, (hard work)will cause me to hurt in that area.
