Hi Shine,,
I am so sorry about your pain. Normally I might think it is a typical migraine if it lasted a day or two. It could still be a migraine. But I would see a doctor (not a nurse) and/or a neurologist. You may need a CT scan or MRI just to rule out things since this is new. My migraines last 1-3 days. They do have cluster migraines . Believe it or not my neighbor was getting migraines every day for a long time. She takes Imitrex for hers and so do I. It is a prescription med. But I was diagnosed by an EEG (electro encephalogram) after many other tests. So, if the scans are negativo, the EEG might also tell you something. I hope you get relief soon.

Hello Shine,

Welcome to the Pain Management Forum.

I don't know if your country has Pain Management Physicians (PMP). If so I would consult one of them. If your pain has no diagnosis at least it should be managed. I assume you have had multiple imaging done...if not please do so.

I wish I had better suggestions for you.....I can encourage you to keep searching for a reason for your pain. It took me almost ten years before I found a diagnosis. I know how frustrating it can be....but please don't give up.

Best of Luck to You,
