Hi I am looking for some advice please. Posting on here for traffic, sorry.
Is there anyone here who suffers from hemiplegic migraines who could help? 6 weeks ago I had a migraine for 1 day (or so iv been told), iv never really had migraines so just thought it was a bad headache. 5 weeks ago, 3 days after the migraine, I had tingling and numbness in my left arm and leg then the next day I woke with pain in my arm and leg resulting in me unable to carry out simple tasks. Since the migraine I have had a ct scan to rule out stroke and everything came back all clear, but nearly 6weeks since the migraine I am still in constant pain in my left shoulder, arm and leg. I have been back and forth to the doctor and they are persistent that it is migraine related. I am not so convinced as I have never been one to have headaches in the past and don't suffer from them at the moment apart from at the starting of taking my new medication I was put on. Everytime I phone the doctors they just keep telling me to phone back in 4 weeks. Iv been given no real advice or anything to properly manage the pain. I feel so frustrated, iv been signed off work for a total of 6 weeks, I'm due to go back in roughly 2 weeks and the pain is still the same, if not worse, as it was to begin with. Thanks for anyone who made it to the end.
