To think a month is too long.

[picklejimmy]

I've been in consistent pain for over a month now.
I've constantly had a headache. It varies from a dull ache to a searing blistering headache but it's always there. I can pin point exactly where the pain is coming from because the pain radiates from there. I've seen Dr after Dr and chiropractor and it won't go away. In exhausted and my work is suffering because I can't concentrate. the Dr has put me on various pain killers which don't even touch the pain. Aibu to think a month long head ache is too long. I have a neurology appointment but it's not till march. I don't think I can take another month of this.

My nan had this and she had an injection in her neck and the headache went away. It then came back about 5 months later, so she had another injection and it didn't come back again.

@picklejimmy "The whole right side of my body went numb and pins and needles like and I was struggling to talk, stammering and stuttering a lot, I don't normally do that. Its like I couldn't say what I was thinking" is alarm bells to me

I should say I'm not a medic but I have a condition called hemiplegic migraine which is a migraine which mimics stroke-like or meningitis. I hope this doesn't repeat for your sake

If it does or you have any symptoms even when alone like slurred speech, numbness, facial droop on one side, stuttering and stammering, try and speak a couple of full sentences into a video taken on your phone as if you end up in a&e by the time you are seen some symptoms may have abated and be replaced with others but the video will show, as weakness/deadness goes thru the limb taking, taking a video of someone lifting your wrist esp so they can see what way it lands and the rate it falls as compared to the symptoms. To put the whole picture together.

I hope its not, my 1st major attack that took serious medical and pharmacy intervention to break and several weeks intensive therapy to deal with it, (S.A.L,T. OT. Physio. Dietician, SW, psychiatric liaison) the latter as I was really struggling to deal with it all, it was hard work but so worth it

The pic ive added may help explain what I suspect for you but this is from my experience only and I'm not a medic and not pretending to be

I have had this with hemiplegic migraine too. First time it happened I was taken by ambulance to a&e where an injection of sumatriptan relieved the symptoms. I now take a tablet of the same at first sign and it prevents these symptoms and allows me to sleep through the headache.
Mine are also caused by neck and shoulder tension so I have regular massage as preventative too.

Sumatriptan is not a pain killer but a Vaso-constrictor. The migraine is triggered by blood flow changes which this reverses.
