Sally12345: Since you also mention "pains in my head," I'll further comment that a brother mentioned pain could be from brain healing. The neurology headache specialist said the pain on top isn't from headache, so she prescribed gabapentin for nerve damage pain. For the back of head and neck pains (muscle tension) she prescribed Baclafen. Both seem to bring temporary relief. I told her that there is a nearby clinic offering PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy and infrared therapy. She said, "They work, if you have the money" (not covered by insurance). Then she suggested Cefaly--an electrode, similar to a TENS Unit (which is never to be used on the head), but for migraine. For Chris, this simply masks the pain while its worn--which is better than nothing. A pain management doctor said acupuncture is definitely worth trying (endorsed for headache by the NIH, WHO, and Cleveland Clinic). If anyone has had success w/ it, PEMF or light therapy, please let me know. (Chris has tried four other pills and four types of injections--all for migraine, which the second opinion neurologist said Chris certainly does not have.) As I searched online for relief for my husband, I discovered that there are "headache specialists" and multidisciplinary pain management programs. Then I googled the closest locations. Both are at the medical center we use--yet the vascular/stroke neurologist there didn't tell us! I asked him for referrals.
