I have been to Emergency rooms in hospitals, because my Cat Scan and MRI don't show any symptoms the neurologist just don't know about this severe pain I am having especially when I cough, a friend researched and found a condition called "Secondary cough headache" when I read it my symptoms seem to be the same, I need a good diagnostician a Dr. that sees things out of the box, that doesn't need tests and can diagnose my condition, I feel that I got the Botox shots too close together, got the first shots and then 2 weeks later another batch of shots and that caused my pain, especially that I got shots on the spot where I hit my head from the bike accident 3 years prior, the Neurologist all say it is not the Botox, but I know it is because the pain came 2 days after the 2nd. shots.

I have been to 2 health facilities one here and one in Florida, I have not been to a teaching hospital, because I have seen top neurologists and because the tests show nothing they cannot advise me on a treatment, I need a good diagnostician one that doesn't need tests to know my problem...my migraines did not get worse after the bike accident, I got an additional headache not a migraine from hitting my head on the sidewalk, this lasted a year and then completely went away in 2019, I feel that the 2 sessions of Botox shots triggered something on the spot where I hit my head because now my severe pain is on that spot and on that side of my head, I am so sure that this is what happened, my Dr. gave me shots only 2 weeks apart and it must have been too early to get additional shots so it affected that area, like nerve endings, I have had this pain since last August it will be a year this august. I am hoping that someone will read my symptoms and have had a similar experience, I need help to get rid of this pain, I cannot take strong meds. because of all the meds I am now taking for high blood pressure, etc. I am limited to taking Tylenol, my Neurologist gave me a pill "Aventyl" 10 mg. I have been taking it for 3 weeks so far nothing, it is a pill for depression but they don't give it for depression but for pain, another neurologist said I could take 20, 30 40 up to 50 mg. of this pill, but my regular neurologist just prescribed 10mg. and even the 10 mg. give me terrible dry mouth which is a side effect.
so this is where I stand now, I am hoping that somehow I will get solution to this terrible pain.
