I visited due to neck and shoulder pain, and after X-rays and ultrasound, I was told that I didn't need injections or surgery. I've been taking the prescribed medication regularly. I'm recovering thanks to the detailed explanation from the doctor without any unnecessary treatments.
I had visited several hospitals for migraines with visual aura, but nothing seemed to help. Then I looked for a local neurosurgery clinic and decided to visit because the reviews were pretty good, and I started treatment there.
I get injections in four spots on my neck. I feel a little dizzy for a short while afterward, and the back of my neck stays stiff and sore until the next day, but my headaches have definitely become less frequent than before treatment.
The headache medicine I had been prescribed by my previous Internal Medicine clinic didn’t work well, so I had to take it several times a day, which upset my stomach and made things difficult. Maybe because this medicine is suited to my symptoms, it works well too. They said there are stronger medications, but I have a sensitive stomach, and I feel like the current medicine suits me perfectly, so I’ve continued getting the same prescription and take it whenever I notice the warning signs of a headache.
They said the treatment would last eight weeks, so I plan to continue treatment diligently for the remaining two weeks.
