Newbie And Wondering....
 

I suffer from massive headaches that comes and goes, the problem is when it comes, it’s massive (all most debilitating and some times last for over a week – I am not kidding) Always on the right side and to both temple, between the eyes area somewhat and it kind of feels like a toothache (jaw front of ear area), but I have been down this road many times and my dentist swears all is well there. I saw neurologist years ago and he said it was migraines; he gave me migraine meds (that never worked) so I just have dealt with it over the years. Well they are becoming more frequent, more painful and lasting longer; I am struggling through a major one right now that oddly enough started Tuesday night at the concert. I notice when I laugh a lot or football game hollering, yelling (nothing major) with friends it almost always triggers one. Oh and some of the strongest pain meds do NOT even place a dent in the pain it. I mean nothing, I just want to lie down (darker the room the better) and place pressure on the areas it hurts.

Severe pain in my temple (in both more on the right side)

In fact, right now it hurts so bad I can hardly type. My eyes aches a well.

Well I was poking on the Internet today and found this site and somewhat sounds like this could be it. The electric shocks it talks about I have only experience a very few times though, mine is pretty much just solid steady pain for days or a week or so.

Thanks,

Thanks for replying BMW, forgive my ignorance, what is a "never block" ?

Thanks,

Dan

I with BMW. I would also encourage you to see another neuro and get their opinion. Depending on whats going on, you could have different options of treating whatever it is.
Take care!

My bad spelling..nerve block :o
Here is a link that explains about nerve blocks.

Thanks BMW, I went to the ER last night for some relief. The shot they gave me didn't touch the pain (Toradal). I am miserable today as well. Whether migraine or what ever it is, it's horrible and I took the day off.

Thanks,

Dan
