Can I Have Consultation With Migraine Specialist?

default
Posted on Fri, 20 Dec 2024
Question: So I finally got into seeing a migraine specialist, which I've waited for for months because I am trying to get a trigeminal neurectomy for the middle branch of my trigeminal nerve (the Maxillary Nerve) to end the chronic migraine I've suffered for two years now. I need this because it has caused brain fog so severe I cannot work.

He claimed he had never heard of someone getting surgery even after I had told him of the possibility through my own research. He told me, though, that if I could find a location to do this (in the United States, more specifically in Ohio), that he would refer me to them if it required a referal.

How do I figure out where to get one?
