MIGRAINES & HEADACHES COMMUNITY
headaches again and again

headaches again and again

I have been diagnosed with chronic daily headaches and migraines. I have a headache every day. Recently I was also diagnosed with C-5 C-6 and C-6 and C-7 herniations. I cannot seem to get the headaches under control. I have tried everything(therapy, chiropractics, medication, acupuncture, massage...) and the pain specialist wants to do a cervical epidural. Will this help the headaches or will it just mask the symptoms? Are the herniations causing the headaches? If not, what can I do to control these headaches?????

Hi,

Epidural injections will only relieve the pain and have to be repeated every two weeks.
Th chronic daily headaches may be due to cervical disc herniation but migraines cannot be caused by disc herniation. I would suggest you to consult your physician regarding various treatment options available for migraine. Also if possible do try to find a trigger for your migraine. Take care!
