Have any of you had nerve blocks for neck pain and it help relieve your migraines? I had brain surgery in 2002 and ever since my migraines have just gotten worse. I had epilepsy brain surgery, it was a success, now I get to deal with migraines on an almost daily basis. Traded one thing for another! UGH!
I am only taking a muscle relaxer, and about once or twice a week I will take toradol, but that's all I have for pain right now, and it's not working. I don't want to take strong pain meds, but right now it maybe what I need.

I'm sorry to hear about that... Have you tried alternative things like getting a massage or something? Ask your doctor about things like a Tens Unit, for my mom it works great and she has basically gone off the meds... I hope you feel better soon!
