head pain
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi. I've suffered head pain all of my life but now it is constant and ruling my life. I sleep and work. My main pains are either side of the top of my head like nails sticking in and the other is all over the top like being hit with a cricket bat. I have seen countless GP's including today when i was told to eat cheese and drink coke, i'm not joking. Over the years i have also been told to by a dog and go walking, turn the radio up and lay on a board.
About every ten years i'm referred to a neurologist who after a few simple tests tell me i have'nt got a tumor. I've had numerous preventive meds, accupunture, homeopathy seen a choirpratic, osteopath and given up most things all to no avail. I have tried on numerous occassions to be referred to a headache specialist but none of them will.
Anybody got any ideas?

Go and get a WHOLE SPINE MRI. I've just done it. It's told me a lot and it's giving me something to follow up.
I went to see a neurologist at Queens Square near Great Ormond Street Children's hospital in London. The waiting list is long so get in as soon as you can.

I was referred to a neurologist by my GP, the neurologist r3eferred me for a whole spine MRI. However, as the waiting list was so long,I paid £900 to have it done privately. I have a detailed report which I can now move forward with. The costs for that scan can be as high as £2660.

I am 50 and been driving for a living all my adult life so your diagnosis could easily apply to me. I hope you have now found a suitable treament because nobody should be suffering as we are.

No treatment yet and I only had the MRI scan a couple of weeks ago and I'm waiting for a "what do we do next" consultation. However, gabapentin and daily stretching are making life a little bearable.
