Daily headaches and head pressure after head trauma
I had a concussion on Feb 8th, so almost 6 months ago. Ever since I have had headaches and head pressure daily. I'm currently on Tramadol to keep the headaches at bay, but my neurologist is no help at this point and I'm not sure what my next step should be. I have already had a brain and neck MRI, both showed no issues. Also, when my headache gets worse it usually brings on earache in my right ear as well, which is the side I hit. My headaches usually start to get worse around mid-day, and sometimes can radiate behind my eyes. I don't even know exactly what type of headache this sounds like, since there are so many different types. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm open to try anything at this point to reclaim my active lifestyle. Thanks for your time.
