I have a migraine hx., a couple months ago I had one so bad I was taken to my pain clin ic for tx. and stil am having trouble, with evening pain that is stabbing in nature in my neck, skull, and right eye, the eye being the most problematic. My eye only opens about half way and has a bag under it, looks awful. What follow up tests would you suggest?
