Hello there, and welcome!!

My PM Dr. had me try steroids (she thought it would help with the swelling... I am not sure if it did), and I did that for 1 1/2 weeks. It was a one-time thing though (she does not want to do them again, she just wanted to try them and see if they helped with RSD symptoms).

Around the same time I started the steroids I started having migraine headaches. My Dr. thought that the steroids could be adding to them, so she had me wean off of them.

My migraines continued after the steroids stopped, so I don't think they caused the headaches. What has caused the headaches in my case is RSD in my jaw/ face. With the jaw pain the migraines started hmm... 3 days later.

My Dr. did mention that the steroids can cause headaches in some cases.

Is your Dr. using steroids a lot with you? You might want to look into long term use of them. I am listing some sites I have found (note that two are teen sites, btw!):
