I have chronic migraine and probable cluster headache that is doing very poorly in the last year or so but especially the last several weeks. I also have lots of degenerative changes in my C-spine, facet arthritis and degenerative disk disease. I am very very VERY cautious with procedures, but I think I finally need to consider the spine injections they are recomending as I feel like the pain in my head and in my neck are in a feedback loop. Has anyone else had either MBB (medial branch blocks) or facet steroid injections? What level and how did it go as far as decreasing headaches? (I a not so worried about the neck pain, I am worried about how it triggers the migraine). Has anyone had a (RFA) radio frequency ablation? Again, what level and did it help headaches? Did anyone have the RFA flare up their migraine and for how long?

Last question, and I don't know if there are any rules about this in this foru. If this question isn't allowed, I retract it! I really need to go to someone I know is really good, I need that confidence and trust to move forward. Does anyone have a doctor they have had these types of injections with in Oregon that was exceptional and if so, can you give me their name and tell me why you think so highly of them?

Thanks so much for your help!!
