Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a migraine for 2 years now. Just this past July they finally decided to do an MRI and found the tumor. Now I am waiting for them to do another MRI to investigate further . I then have to wait until Christmas to see the neurologist for the results. In the meantime, there are no medications left that help dull the pain, and this thing is getting a whole lot of time to grow bigger than the 3/4 that it already was in July. I guess what my question is...does anybody know any medication that will help so that I can at least function a little bit until Christmas? Also, is there any way to make them speed things up a little? And...How do I find a very experienced surgeon to do the surgery? I live near Niagara Falls, Ontario but I am willing to travel to make sure that I get a really good surgeon.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to migraine. You can try using an over the counter option to treat the migraine such as Ibuprofen. If it will not be effective, I suggest to consult a neurologist for prescription treatment such as Triptans.
Hope my answer was helpful.
