I am a 72 year old man that had a constant headache for about 35 years I totally understand. I have recently had the surgery, but I still have the headaches. I am giving it time to work. I pray that it will get better
I had this " bilateral greater and lesser and third occipital nerve decompression/avulsion" this is my 4 the day of healing. I am excited. Yes what you said like you have no life. I think yours where worse. I did my in abort shots. Sumatriptan and toradol if needed. The main key was to abort my grains before the group they get all. Sometimes I took pure sets that have barbiturate caffeine and Tylenol worked on the tiny migraines. I never had migraines where I woke up. Went to sleep. Basically I would have bored it and sometimes it would come back the next day once it hits about 5 days. Of course I wait too late to get steroid packet or steroid shot. It's hard to drive all the way across to the big town to get some sort of IV that really didn't work with all the stuff they put in the IV and the doctor want to cut me down to six sumitription shots a month. I said I get over 15 some months like in the winter it would cut down. Basically I'm a weather migraineer but after my neck surgery 2021 I noticed things changed. I start getting like green in my ear. I start getting this blaring pain the back of my neck that if it went up to the back of my head I knew it turned into a migraine. That was something new to me. I never knew that migraines have to do with the nerves wrapped around her head. I kept thinking it was in my behind in my brain. And I wish my migraine specialists would have told me about Vanderbilt hospital plastic surgeon. They did surgery for this. I met the surgeon. I filled out something online cuz I ran into them but accident I don't know how I came about it. It was like a miracle and then they had an appointment and then I was supposed to get some sort of nerve test block cuz they were going to block my nerves on my upper neck for the chronic migraines and possibly burn those nerves every 6 months. And the doctor call me and says do you want to do this? Is it yeah cuz I'm going to file your insurance and they did that department especially trained. Basically Vanderbilt is very well trained to deal with my state insurance and I've been so happy. So I just had my surgery. I'm really not increasing pain, but I hope everybody knows that those nerves outside your head either behind your eye around dry or in your temples or the official nerves in the back. They can't be treated and have surgery to clean up and relieve the pressure it's having. The doctor told me I had a lot of scarring but I swear I was not no sport athlete or been in a bad car accident. I don't know if had to do with me being a kid on roller skates. I remember sliding my back against bricks or somebody pulled my hair real hard when I was little. Who knows. That was only trippy thing. But thank you for your testimony. I could not imagine what you been through off. Couldn't lived throughout your brave young lady.
@@B137-w2c thanks for your reply! I've had surgeries for other things and it never goes as easy as they say it does. I hope your long term recovery is beneficial for you. 🙏 maybe you can report back again later if you don't mind.
@@tightlinesbassfishing It has helped immensely in a variety of ways. The recovery wasn’t as immediate or easy as the surgeon/drs lead me to believe but 8+ months post op things are better. For me personally and the situation I was in Yes I would most certainly do it again. If you need details of the surgery or any questions in general feel free to ask. Being in the situation leading up to it is awful so if I can be of any help I’d be glad to do so

Hi, how are you now? Did the surgery help you? Who was your surgeon, please?
Thank you for sharing.

How has the surgery held up long term? Getting it done in a couple weeks
Did you get the surgery?
Yes I did! A little over 6 weeks ago now. Recovery isn’t nearly as easy as they made it sound for a day surgery
@@B137-w2c thanks for your reply! I've had surgeries for other things and it never goes as easy as they say it does. I hope your long term recovery is beneficial for you. 🙏 maybe you can report back again later if you don't mind.
@@B137-w2c How are you feeling after several months after the surgery? Knowing what you do now, would you go through the surgery again?

Topamax almost killed me!
Thinking of getting this meds r not working for me
I could only bare 10 minutes in this video because background music is so annoying and annoying for occipital neuralgia nerve impingement patients
Thanks for information but why with that annoying background music. Us occipital neuralgia nerve impingement sufferers finds it very annoying
