Head Hurts Throughout The Day, Turns Into Migraine. Get Relief With Painkiller. Any Other Way To Get Relief?
My head hurts all day long. It may be just a small headache and then it will turn into a migraine. Why does it hurt all day long. Why do I wake up with a headache everyday? I am usually so tired also. The headache will be mostly over the eyes and then on the left side of the head or right side of the head. The pain will be so bad I will have to go get a pain shot to help relieve the pain. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of this pain. I want my life back. I have had this going on since the age of 16 and now 43. Any advice would help.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From the description it appears to be migraine. There are medicines which can be taken as prophylaxis on a daily basis to prevent or decrease the frequency like Amitryptiline, flunarizine, topiramate etc. You should consult a neurologist for the same. Even Botox injection helps in migraine.
Hope this helped,
Take care
