Medical Advice

Have you talked about these symtoms with your doctor . Take a full body checkup and try to meet different doctor . Many times it happens that one doctor don't find anything wrong but another one might catch the problem . It sounds to be not a normal situation where you having headache all the time .

It sounds like you need to see a specialist. Try going to a neurologist. Go from doctor to doctor until you find someone who will take you seriously. You can't make someone take you seriously if they are determined not to, so don't waste your time. Just keep looking for good doctors. You may have to meet with five or six doctors before you find someone who cares, but don't give up. We have to be our own best advocates in this messed up medical system.

I agree with the others that say see a neurologist they are the best ones to tell where the pain is coming from. I lived for years with what I thought were migraine headaches and muscle spasms and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. When I was 13 a Gynecologist told my mom what he thought it was that I had and I that I couldn't possibly have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and he left it untreated. I was 17 and that pelvic pain I was having that my GP and Gynecologist said was all in my head, I ended up having emergency surgery to remove a fallopian tube that had petrified. Do whats right for you. If your doctor won't help you find somebody who will. Don't always believe the doctor they can be wrong sometimes to they are only human.

I know people have probably said this to you, but I'll say it again. Change doctors. I've had to before because my doctor didn't take my problems seriously. Now that I'm on disability, it is really hard to get a good doctor, so if I had to change doctors I'm not sure where I'd even begin. There aren't a lot of choices. Your migraines sound like my migraines. I have ended up in the ER I don't know how many times. And this is even after I took the prescription medications he gave me. Something could be wrong with you, but a lot of times migraines just suddenly appear in teenage or adult lives and we don't know why. But I know what you go through. If you speak to your doctor, ask him about Amerge or Imitrex. Imitrex worked best on me, in shot form. You don't have to resort to the shots though. Zomig was another that worked well.

I am assuming that before all these doctors told you nothing is wrong, they had done some basic diagnostic tests and imaging. What this means is that they can see no reason for the pain. While it's true that stress can cause muscles to tense and especially tension in neck muscles can cause headaches, it could also stem from other more physical reasons. Neck and shoulders could be related to something you do, from painting, overhead work or even just poor posture or poor ergonomics when you are working on your computer. If you have been for a complete physical with lab work and no one finds anything specific, then you should consider seeing a physical therapist or a chiropractor who might be able to assess if there are some posture issues or ergonomic issues in your daily activities.

I think you need to find another doctor. Go to a specialist like a neurologist. You NEED to find another doctor that will actually listen to you. Sounds like the doctor you are going to just isn't hearing you well, just seeing your wallet. A friend of mines father found a lump on his throat, his doctor told him it was nothing and it would go away, a year later it was still there, he went to another doctor and found out that it was cancer. So please do not rely on a doctor that goes on telling you its nothing, its your body and you know when something is wrong with it.

Okay, you have probably got yourself set up for rebound headaches, number one. What do you take for your headaches and how often? Many of these products, if you do not solve the headache, will give you kind of withdrawal headaches when they wear off. Most of the products you are mentioning either have acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine and/or some sinus medication in them.If your head hurts with and without them, go without for a few days, it cannot be any worse. Get your body un addicted. Number two, get a calcium and magnesium blend supplement in the vitamin section at Wal Mart. This is not a quick fix, but it does help in the long run. Start on it, following the label directions, or whatever. Number three, keep track of your blood pressure, and keep a food diary, it could be a food reaction. Calcium is good for your bones and joints, but it is not effective without sufficient magnesium. Magnesium serves as a smooth muscle relaxer, it will help the muscles in your neck and your shoulders and your legs. It may take as much as six weeks to help. It is not covered by insurance, but it is not an expensive remedy, either. Make sure you take vitamin D as well. If you think it is sinus issues, again, it may be rebounding from using too much medication. Take Mucinex or the generic, and use a saline nasal spray, as many times a day as you like. You can start all of these things for under twenty dollars, and quit taking so many other things that cost more. I hope this is helpful to you.

It's stress. It's also psychosomatic as well. You only think there's something wrong when there isn't anything. I used to have headaches all the time and there wasn't anything wrong, just stress. Try and find some natural remedies, don't focus on wasting your time and money seeing doctors who know what they're talking about.

Have you had an MRI? You may have to see a specialist, maybe a neurologist cause that might be nerve problems or may be some blood flow problems.

From personal experience, it souns to me like you have something going on with your nervous system and the discs in your back. It took me a very long time to get the doctor to figure anything out with me, and now, I have a new doctor and am going through it all over again. They are in disbelief because I am so young. I was diagnosed with herniated disc, degenerating discs, and neuropathy. The disc problems explain the headaches I get as well as a lot of my pain, but the neuropathy explains it even more. I would recommend that if your doctor won't run any tests, such as an MRI and a nerve response test, in other words, if your doctor won't really try to figure it out, I would find a new doctor as soon as possible. You symptoms are definately not normal and no one knows your body better than you. If you feel that something is wrong, chances are, something is wrong and you need to find the right doctor to help you. Don't accept any doctor telling you that nothing os wrong when things are only getting worse. You may have to talk to several doctors before you find the right one, but don't give up. Eventually, you will find the right doctor.

If you have insurance: When it's really bad go to the ER and tell them you can't see, function, anything. It's the worse thing you have ever felt. It's super horrid. Make sure your tears flow and you can't function. They will run tests... they have to. That will start the ball rolling. Follow up on what ever they say. PUSH until you get results.

Hi Bellasmama, when the medical reports show nothing wrong with your head doesnt mean no problem. Once a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner told me that those sickness that caused a lot of pain to us initially are usually easily treatable. Those that caused no pain and no discomfort are the ones that will develop into serious problems. I wonder if you have gone for a whole body checkup? Sometimes poor posture that caused stress to the neck or the spiral can cause headache. If you have access to Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner who can do foot reflexology, he can pinpoint which organ or part of body causes the problem, then you can go to the hospital and request for tests to verify. Hope you can get the right diagnosis and get well soon. All the best.

I will say that some of your symptoms are similar to my husband too. However, he did get some temporary relief from Panadol Active. From experience, the pain is most likely to be stress-related. Is your work giving you a lot of stress? You should try and relax more. You may want to try listening to those soothing music which makes you relax, use aromatherapy, or learn to do some yoga. Another way is to go for a relaxing massage, and see if you feel better after that. Try these for a week or so, and see if the pain gets better. However, if the above does not work, you may want to change a new doctor, and tell them all the symptoms you are currently facing. Sometimes, there may be new discovery when you seek opinion from another doctor.

Do you get enough leisure time? Do you work out regularly and how is your diet? What about your job-stressful? I am asking you these questions because I had a similar experiance.Not the same but a similar experience.I was having these chest pains.Finding it difficult to eat. Initially I was not concerned,then it got to a point where I was having so much difficulty swallowing (because it hurt),that I went to the doctor.He said it was just due to my bad lifestyle choices.He did give me a couple of pills.It took a while before I got better.But the experience was a little scary. It was caused because I skipped meals, was stressed at work,could not find enough time to excercise etc. etc. I suggest,look into these aspects.Meanwhile,if the discomfort is as bad as you say it is, get second , third opinions.Change your doctor.

get a CT scan. that should show you whats happenin in your head. if everything here is normal then i guess it would be due to stress or only a psychosomatic disorder. try relaxation techniques. have a holiday.

You pay medical insurance, don't you? Well, go back to the doctor or the hospital and DEMAND a specialist look you over. This sounds serious to me, and you need to get it sorted very quickly. It could be spinal related, nerve centre, or something to do with your head, but I wouldn't take the "brush off" any longer. As a medical insurance policy holder, you have the right to DEMAND a specialist. Refuse to leave the hospital until they find you one too! You can't go on losing sleep and enduring this pain, my friend. Brightest Blessings - please let us know how you get on, would you?

Do you live in an area with Lyme disease? Have you had a lyme titer drawn? Ok, what about a cat scan and mri...how does your blood work look? Need more info?

The only advice i can give you is to seek another doctor's opinion, it sound's like the the doctor's you have seen have'nt got a clue, go talk to a doctor who will listen and treat you, having these headaches for so long, find a doctor who knows what he's talking about, don't be afraid to get help, you don't want to be in pain forever....
