Hopeful

Hi Susan - So good to hear from you again.

I encourage you to circle back with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your recovery from your most recent injections. Unfortunately, since we're not medical providers, we can't provide medical advice on what to do. Have you spoken to the provider who did the injections to see if they are able to answer your questions and quell some of the anxiety?

Questions that I might personally ask include: How long should I expect to wait before seeing results from this treatment? How might I feel until I start to notice a difference? Are there any side effects the doctor wants to be told about if I don't start to feel better? How long will the relief last?


That is not to say that you need to ask all of this, or any at all. Rather, they are a starting point if you're looking to build stronger communication with your doctor.

Wishing you well, and hope to hear an update from you soon! - Cody (Team Member)

Hello, my friend! I'm sorry to hear that you're having some difficulty after your treatment. I agree with Cody. Get with your doctor and let them know what you are experiencing. Write down your questions so you don't miss anything. My husband regularly uses ginger in a gummy form, like candy, to help with his nausea. He also has Zofran, but the ginger has no side effects for him. Do your best to treat your symptoms while getting things coordinated with the doctor. Documentation is always a good thing to get in place for future appointments and to help guide your treatments. I'll be praying for you, Susan. I hope you will get this behind you quickly so you can once again be as active as you'd like. Sending ((HUGS)) Cheryl, migraine community team.

Hi thanks every one as you know my migraines stem from a water skying accident this was in the 80s as I remembered doctor sent me to a another doctor in Fonthill and he did Cortizone shots in three different places with 1 needle and we did it for three weeks so that would be a total of 9 shots , so after that I never experience another migraine until Feb of 2023. Anyway I got thinking why not do the same thing and see what happens I have been migraine free for 7 days what a strange feeling but the pain doctor did needles for my sciatica which I wanted to wait until the last three shots I came home yesterday and it felt like I was getting a migraine I'm thinking it was because he did not listen to me and gave me more so after my anxiety attack passed I called him and said on Tuesday just the three so I praying this keeps working , I an going to do some searching about that nerve it has nothing to do with the migraines ! So my friends please pray this has worked for me .. I am so thankful for all of you so much postive outlooks that really helped a lot .. Back to one day at a time and let go let god !

It sounds like you're going through a tough time with these symptoms after your recent treatment. It's important to listen to your body and communicate closely with your pain doctor about how you're feeling.
The sleepiness, nausea and dizziness could be side effects that might settle down with time, but if they persist or worsen or if you're unsure about the treatment, it's best to reach out to your doctor promptly. They can provide guidance on whether to continue or adjust your treatment plan to ensure you're on the right track towards your goal of being active again. Take care!
