Migraine Pain. History Of Severe Whiplash And Concussion. Problem?

Hi, I live in a constant migraine every day do to two wrecks four monthes apart first one i fractured my c2, c3 vertebre and suffer severe whiplash and concussion and second wreck i had bad whiplash and had a mild concussion to my brain before it healed from the other one. it is four years later and i still live in a constant migraine and no neurologist can figure out why. Right now my biggest concern is that the pain had gotten worse and when the pain gets to a certain level im starting to literally getting high off the pain and i get real light headed and impaired. why is that happening to me? im not complaining though cause it helps me get through this high level migraine. is this my brain adapting to the constant pain? it allows me to think and focus on a whole new level!

Hi and thanks for the query,

I would love to know whether you have done control CT scans and MRIs since you started having these persistent pains.

Other primary headaches could mimic migraines. Cluster headaches and Tension headaches should however not be neglected. Ct scan and an MRI are of utmost importance to exclude any chronic hematoma or tumour that might also cause debilitating pain.

What bout your blood pressure levels and control. It might be neceessary to have a control for your blood pressure. What you describe is more of a primary headache that needs a deeper insight. However, control Ct scans and MRIs are mandatory not to miss some common secondary causes.

Getting an appointment wit your neurologist to get these tests done might be of great help.

Best regards,

Bain LE, MD.
