I've been in treatment for my migraines for quite a while, finally with Topamax I seem to make some sort of progress because my cervical issues are not as horrifying as they were 10 months ago, but this month I've been experiencing different things that I can't exactly label them as the migraines I first searched my neurologist for. It is painful alright, but not as painful as the aggravating pain that requires nerve block injections though.

There's this pressure in my head, I feel it on my right and left side. It's starting to drive me insane because I wake up with it and it stays for a long part of the day. But somedays it happens at night and it won't let me sleep at all. It's like someone is squishing my head apart, some days the pressure is not as bad, but some other days (like today) I just woke up in tears out of pain.

Also, one of the things that hurts today is behind my right eye. I'd get this pain along with my migraines when I used to get them (I was diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia) but today it's just the pressure in my head on the sides, and the sharp pain in my right eye.

I'm just trying to make sense out of this. I had a doctor's appointment last monday and we talked about his, he says I've got to cut my hair because he insists the pressure is my neck injury and the pressure in my head is something called cephalgia (sp?), like inflammation of blood vessels or whatever that I just need to relax (going through some though stressful situation right now), but my concern is that - I think I should be happy I am not getting full blown migraines because, God knows how they'd put me in ER when they were bad but, these things like the head pressure and the single eye pressure among other different things like sudden sharp pain and whatnot are things that I did not feel before either... Does this mean my nerve situation is getting worse or something?

I am just wondering because this is all new to me, a different kind of pain and it's becoming consistent now so, I just don't know what to make of it so far.

Am I worrying for nothing?
