Just after stories from anyone who has had a GON injection for any headache condition please.
If you had immediate pain relief after your injection and for the first 36 hrs, did the steroid part of the injection kick in for you? If yes, how long did the take to work?
My daughter has been diagnosed with New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH). In short this is a severe headache (10/10 pain) from waking to sleeping. She has had this everyday for nearly 18 months.
She has tried many medications/therapies but unfortunately nothing has worked so far.
DD had a GON injection and it helped with her headache pain straight away, following day it was 1/10 but then over the next few days her pain crept back up and today (6 days after injection), her pain is 10/10 again. Guessing the immediate pain relief was the local anaesthetic and lidocaine?
Any advise or help would be appreciated please as both many people have experience with this headache condition and we are desperate.
