I dont know what is wrong with me

I have daily headaches for 2 years and have been told I have migraines.. I've tried over 20 different prophylactic & abortive migraine medication-nothing works. I've also tried acupuncture, botox, magnesium, and pedolex.
I went to a a chiropractor and he said I don't have migraines but neck pain.  The chiropractic treatment eased my pain a few times but the pain comes right back.
My headache is on the right side of my head, behind my ears and then travels down to the side of head. Any suggestions?

I too suffer from migraines. Have they done a MRI or Cat scan and checked for Chiari Malformation? I suffer from that, it is where your spine is too long and your brain sit right on it. I have spinal fluid build up and it has to be released. This happens about once a year. I suffered from Migraines for over 20 years before they found this, am on SSDI because of my migraines now. Good luck, pm me anytime you want to futher discuss your headaches

There are several types of headaches and if your not being treated for the type you have you will not get any relief. Neck pain can and will cause headaches, you need to have x-rays done and possibly a MRI and CT scan to find out if thats the problem thats causing your pain.
I suggest seeing your doctor and have him/her order these test to find out what is going on so that you can get the proper treatment.
