Happy with Neuro
 

Went to the Neurologist for my injection for my Occipital Neuralgia and I am satisfied so far. My neck is sore and I am icing. My headaches have decreased a lot, and I was able to take a nap which I feel I must celebrate, life is pretty good right now!

That's great news :). Hope it provides you with continued relief!

Do you play WoW? :)

hi consider,
what were your symtoms before the neuro? how has he helped? Ar ethe headaches noticelbly different???

Hope you are feeling well!!!!!!!!

Yes I do play WoW from time to time, I couldn't for a while though due to the early stages of my TBI/PCS.

Before the neuro, I had a weird tension type headache with knife cutting pain in the left side of my head. My neurologist ended up figuring it out, and gave me a nerve block, it did work, but now my neck is sore. I iced and used ibuprofen like she said, but oh my, it hurts.

I currently now have no headache.

Great new consider. Here in my location of Canada I am 14 months along and still waiting to see a neuro. I was told I will be about 26 months past injury before I get to see one.:mad:

Just don't do what I did and try to return to normal too quickly after signs of improvement, I did not like the result.

Wow Srgallan thats terrible! Where are you that its going to take that long? Can't you travel somewhere else to see one? My appt was 6 months after but I got on a wait list and was in in a week. Turns out I would have been better off waiting but that's another story.

I'm going to stop complaining then that it will probably be over a year before I get to see a neuro opthalmologist! I hope you get in sooner somehow. Good news is though that you probably aren't missing much!

cyclecrash,

I am located in the maritimes, you practically have to travel out of province for anything from a dermatologist, neuro or many other forms of specialists.

Makes the waits much longer, it was 14 months before I could even see the ENT.
