Hi ,

Thanks for the reply. I actually started getting the headaches long before I

began taking daily pain medication (just vicoprofen). It was just after my

first surgery. I have heard of rebound headaches, though. I'm sure I get those,

too.

The doctors have tried putting me on various daily medications to help prevent

migraines, but if they work at all, it's only for a while. I have the same

problem with medications that you take during a migraine. If they work, it's

only for the first few times. If they don't work, I end up in the ER with an

even more severe migraine.

I don't even bother with migraine medication anymore. I just try to take my

regular pain medication, but usually I end up vomiting too much to keep anything

down for a few days.

I'm going through the pain clinic process now and will probably ask if there's

some other way to take medication during the migraines. I think all the pain

I'm in is taking a huge toll on me.

Hi ,

I find that I get more migraines when I try to do anything more than I can

handle. I

haven't had physical therapy or massage therapy in a long time because all my

back pain

feels like it can't be touched from the outside, but I think I'll ask about it

again to see if it

makes a difference with the migraines. I'll try the massage chair, too.

Thanks,

Kate
