Hi bcsbooboo;

I didn't get them before my ACDF 4.5 years ago (or got them only rarely and mildly) but seem to have been getting them a lot the last several months, and in conjunction with a return of symptoms. Short answer from me is maybe? There does seem to be some correlation with mine but I can't prove it. I know when I get this type of migraine, I feel pain down into my scapula area as well as my head and neck so I do think the neck problem may be a trigger.

Good luck to you! I hope the surgery fixes your problem!
