What Causes Migraine After A Neck Injury?

I had a neck injury went to the doctors. I did two days of physical therapy then got a migraine from the tight muscle. Went to the ER I they took exrays they gave me a shot of adavan went back to ER. The next afternoon they gave me two bags of fluids, toradahl, adavan, morphine. I can t stop picking one bandage they had on me slip down to my wrist and cut circulation off to my hand it was really swollen but went right back to sleep. Why am I so sick is it from having a migraine for 6 days or from meds or could it be something else

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, swelling can subside slowly from your hands plaster but if it persists should be reviewed by your primary care physician to rule out compartment syndrome or compression. The medication you mentioned doesn't usually trigger migraine but sleeplessness, pain and generalized unrest can trigger it so you can start intensive NSAID therapy or acetaminophen for the migraine and once other triggers come to normal hopefully you will be better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
