I have had a migraine constantly since New Year’s Eve. I was on a monthly injection for preventative as well as a pill for emergencies. Neither have worked. I ended up in the Emergency Room twice because of this migraine thinking it could be an aneurysm (I’m also on blood thinners). They ran blood tests, MRIs, CTs, gave me pain medication like dilaudid and still couldn’t figure it out. My neurologist saw me in the end of January and couldn’t figure it out either. He took me off both migraine medications and is trying to get insurance approval for an IV infused migraine medication now. I also found out I have a herniated disc in my C5/C6. It’s VERY slight, but the tiny bit that’s herniated is pressing on my spinal chord. I’m now seeing a spinal doctor who is contemplating surgery to remove that disc. My question is if anyone else has had migraines that last this long from a herniated disc barely pressing on their spinal chord? Or even have another idea of what could be causing this? I’m currently taking norco nightly for the pain and muscle relaxers during the mornings (as per my pain management doctors orders) and I am still in a lot of pain, can’t drive myself anywhere due to the medications, and am becoming more and more aware of neck stiffness and jaw soreness
