Just a hunch, talk to your neuro about an MRA (before the chiro - although they can really help!), rule out vertebral or basilar artery aneurysm...

I am not sure about the brace. I would ask if you have rsd in the neck for ex if it should be in something like that. I know and this is different but I wore an airboot that made things worse because I actually needed more movement rather then less. Now yours may be totally different but a thought that came to my mind. Have you tried topomax? I know some of the peole in the pain clinic who had severe head aches were on it. I am assuming with scs you can't have an mri but I was wondering before if you ever had one of your brain? I hope you feel better

I've been praying for you...... this is discouraging......

Has anyone mentioned the possibility of spinal leak causing this? It's hard to accept that they are putting the blame on how your head was 'positioned' during the surgery!

......welll............I'll keep praying, that's all I know to do.

you certainly shouldn't have to be suffering like this!

PS.....as trivial as this may sound,.....certain muscle relaxer's I've tried caused headaches.........
not sure what your meds are ?

SCS??? I assumed when you mentioned "stim" unit, you meant a TNS-type unit for pain, not an implantable. Daniella of course then, is right. Very likely cannot have an MRI (but check with your rep) although you could acheive similar findings with contrast CT...

yes its the SCS so I can't have a MRI. I am suppose to schedule another nerve block in my neck. I can then talk to him about a scan. I take orphenadrine for my muscle relaxer. Thanks!
