Can l ask you how you feel with cervicogenic headache. I'm asking because l am thinking this is what l get. I have DDD in my neck. When really bad l get the discomfort up the back of my head to the top. Sometimes it goes into my forehead.

What you have is the classic "Ram's horn" distribution of pain with cervicogenic headache. I have DDD at all levels but really have no pain or radiculopathy except in my thoracic spine. I never felt my headaches were migraine but no one really listened. I saw a Spine and Sports Medicine specialist for something else, we started talking about my headaches, and he felt they weren't migraine either. I started doing upper back exercises, stopped sumatriptan, which made me feel awful, and it was about 6 weeks later, after 20+ years, I started feeling better.
