Severe Headache for 3 Months 24/7

Hello. I’ve had an awful headache for almost 12 weeks. It’s usually in the back of my head, with one spot on top of my head that feels like it’s getting stabbed. That spot is sore when I touch it.

Got an MRI and doctor thought it looked a little funny, but couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so just put me on migraine meds and told me to come back in a month. No relief from the meds at all. The headache is also often accompanied by nausea

Does anyone know what could be wrong? Or might have gone through a similar experience.

I'm really sorry you are having this issue.  Nausea is a common pain response and is common with migraines. And a cluster migraine can cause this type of intense localized pain.  Try putting an ice pack on it.  Sounds weird but a PT recommended that to me for bad headaches.  Massage helped me also.  Is the medication helping?

The medication hasn’t helped. They’ve been pretty much the same for the past few weeks. I’m going back to the neurologist in 2 days, so hopefully I’ll get some more info then
