Hi, I'm Kaiy and new to the group. I was reading previous comments on some symptoms my husband is going through and was trying to see if anything aided individuals suffering from chronic migraines/head pain. He did have a MR Angiogram and the results state, "No major vessel occlusion or significant stenosis of intracranial arteries. There is a 2 mm triangular outpouching from the distal cavernous segment of the right internal carotid artery, possibly representing an infundibulum rather than an aneurysm (image 134 of series 2). Otherwise no other aneurysm identified." I saw other people list this as a diagnosis and was wondering if they were given any medication or other options on how to deal with the pain. My husband has been prescribed various medications with no relief only suffers from the meds side effects. He's currently on Topiramate (Topamax), starting at 25mg low dosage and it goes up to 200mg. Every 7 days the dosage increases. he's on day 4 of 25mg (this med scares us). He's even has scheduled to get his wisdom teeth out, 1 is out already to no relief and the other is impacted and scheduled to be removed. He's been in pain since Memorial Day weekend nonstop with a pain level at a constant 7 and will get to 9. I guess with all of this being said has anyone had this diagnosis, constant headaches and pressure and found something that helps?? He goes to a chiropractor too and we're considering an acupuncturist. Thanks in advance for your help and comments.

Please consult a neurologist and discuss with him/her a diagnosis of New Daily Persistent Headache. Look it up on Wikipedia.
