Few questions
 
1- new jacka$$ neuro prescribed me depacoat and imitrex for my headaches... thoughts on these drugs with the knowledge that i have been on their sister meds, propranaol, verapamil and nortrptyline with no success. (forgive my spelling errors on the drugs)

2- I am having more reticular issues from my neck since I have not had any treatment in 2 weeks... do I need to see a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon for this? budging at c4-5, c5-6, c6-7 all touching the spinal cord and i have stenosis..

3- could the above neck injury be causing the increased dizziness and headaches?

thanks!

Definitely

Sarah, you could also ask over on the Spinal Disorders Forum You have a lot going on in that back and neck of yours. It must be very painful.

I have got a Botox treatment 3 months ago and it has subsided my migraines almost completely. I am scheduled to have it done again next week. They also injected some into my trapezius muscles to loosen them up as they were also contributors. I do have frontal headaches daily but the migraines were completely debilitating.
