Brief Answer:
Please repeat a brain scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for getting back.
I have noted that the headaches are still continuing in your wife's case.
Giving tramadol is fine, however, we need to know the current status of her brain.
In that regard, please get a brain scan- MRI brain with venogram done, so that we can understand the current status.
After that, we would be able to start more specific medications to cure her problem.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
