Default Acdf surgery post

I wish you well... My surgery was a success despite what my MRI and CAT scan revealed. My doctors are all amazed with my recorvery. However; I have started having migrane headaches, since the surgery and they are constant and almost daily. I am not able t funtion because of the migranes and the medication Im having to take. So I wish you the best.

I have at least 4 or 5 migraines per week and I am completely non-functional with them. I do take medication and have tried PT with no relief. I have two small children, so I am desperate for relief.

My question is: Will my migraines probably go away with this surgery? My NS said he cannot guarantee that the headaches will go away, and that I have to have the surgery regardless - due to the fact that my spinal cord is being damaged.

All I want is to be migraine-free!!

Thanks for any help.
