Headaches Be Gone!

I didn't have a headache today, and thanks to my second set of Botox for migraine, I've only had two migraines since the June 8th injection. None in the month of June. I have had a few ice pick migraines in July along with the other two which are stabbing pains in my right temple, but they are lightening quick and pass.

I celebrate this victory, and kidney stones, poison oak and severe sciatica pain followed. Sitting and walking was excruciating yet I kept commuting the hour to work and working on the phones. Ice was my only relief and helps with each of these ailments, temporarily.

Yesterday I saw my new Orthopedic doctor. His diagnosis was unexpected. My sciatica issues stem from Femoroacetabular right hip Impingement.

Here is some information on it.

My pirifirmis muscle which attaches the buttocks was causing the excruciating pain. Meds didn't touch that nerve pain. The specialist injected steroids into my hip and already I can walk and sit. I start physical therapy August 8 for 6 weeks, twice a week. This is supposed to solve this pain stretching over 18 years. Essentially, I was born with it but my accident of April 2000 brought it out. I was hit by a car while walking away from mine in a field after striking a patch of black ice. If you suffer from sciatica, you might want to visit a good orthopedic doctor. My first one over a decade ago failed miserably to diagnose me and referred me to a pain doctor to cut my foot nerve. I refused since the MRI showed no spinal disc issues. He was just willing to cause the foot neuropathy to go away and create other issues instead.

The migraines and this issue haunted me through the years.

I'm so happy for the referrals to my current neurologist and orthopedic doctors.

So, headaches are mostly a past thing as long as I have botox injections and I get to lose some forehead wrinkles, too!
