Suggest Treatment For Migraine Headaches And Muscle Pain Under Left Arm

I have migraine headaches and was taking a daily preventative until I had a Hysterectomy a year ago. I am now on the estrogen patch and have recently started having migraines at least twice a week. They seem to be more intense. I have what feels like a muscle pain under my left arm that has been bothering me for 2 days now. Is this something I should go see my doctor about?

hi healthcare magic user, Estrogen patch will tend to help from the long term complications of post menopausal changes but it will aggravate frequency and severity of migraine.
if I would have been your doctor I have take call for estrogen patch on risk benefits ratio. if migraine is bothering too much better to remove patch. other part regarding pain in left arm are you sure about muscle pain as it could be due to various causes that needs to be evaluated please consult your gynaecologist. Is their any tenderness swelling on arm site? if it is their then you need to consult general surgeon to rule out Thrombus.
