@grandmar Of all times ,right .I hope you can go on vacation ,but I wouldn't want to be miserable. Maybe Dr can give you something so you can go 😉 I hope so 😁😊👍

@grandmar Ronnie, I hope you can get relief from the headaches. I have a very hard time functioning “normally “ when I have a headache that bad. Do you feel it in a certain place?

@grandmar Ronnie, have you tried physical therapy? I have had cervicogenic headaches too before my cervical spine surgery and occasionly I can still get similar headaches. What causes them for me is a muscle spasm that moves the cervical vertebrae around and it rotates or tilts one or more levels that in turn affects the muscles attached that connect to the back of the head. My PT does myofascial release which helps a lot, and you can physically feel if there is misalignment. My PT can gently nudge them back in place and the headache stops. She also used to use a Dolphin neurostimulator on the nerve roots which helps pain by temporarily blocking the neurotransmitters that send the signals. I've become aware of catching this early and can stretch and prevent it. My thoughts are that by maintaining proper alignment, there will be less pressure on the other discs. A PT can give you a home program of things to do that can help and buy you time if you are headed toward more spine surgery. I had a fusion at C5/C6 a couple years ago, and I have thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) which makes one side of my neck and shoulders tighter helping to create the issues of rotating vertebrae. I'm in physical therapy for that and making progress.
