Both MRI results came back O:Kay. I told by one my neurologist that it was stressed. The part that scares me the most is when I become lost for words.

Thank you for that advice Dr. I did not mention to you that i have bad headaches, which have been occurring for 8 years now. The last MRI that was done on the neck area and the diagnois was arthritis. The pain management Dr. gave me a cortosoid shot in both left and right side of the neck. To no avail it work for 2 weeks, so the next procedure was to burn the pain nerves in both side of the neck. It calm my headaches down a little. I also take wellubutrin 300 mg. The lost of words is begining to effect me in the work place.

Please send response to YYYY@YYYY . Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Occipital neuralgia, not related to speech problems.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for being on follow up.

Condition that you refer and that is causing your headaches is known as occipital neuralgia.

It is not related to speech problems, so it is a separate issue.

I still think that anxiety and stress disorder play an important part in your problems.

Hope I helped you.

Best regards.
