Hi Jennifer. I’m interested in what you will hear from the neurologist. I’ve got many spine issues, many surgeries including fusions and just recently had cortisone injections in my upper neck. My question is similar to yours- why do I have pressure aches all around my head. It’s almost like a halo inside my skull. But instead of feeling angelic, it hurts. Nothing seems to help. I’ve never had this issue before. Pls let me know if you learn something new re your pressure headaches. Thanks. Joyce
@rnlorena I can understand your position of not wanting surgery, and there has to be enough benefit in taking on the risks associated with surgery. Seeing your family members experiences with spine surgery also gives you a perspective that I didn't have when I became a spine patient. My spine problem was caused by a traffic accident from a reckless driver many years earlier. I wanted to think I would be OK, and I was for a lot of years until I wasn't because of adding the years of an aging spine after an injury like that. I looked at my disabled parents who were wheelchair bound and I didn't want that in my future if I could help it. I knew that I would be disabled and was already loosing the coordination in my arms which was troubling since I am an artist. That made surgery an easier choice.
