(16f) I have suffered with a constant headache and this is week 10! Pain is differing, and all over my head particularly at the front and in my temples.
I have seen/seeing a neurologist, pain spec, GP, physiatrist, physcologist and my dermatologist and have not got a diagnosis nor any relief. Note I saw my dermatologist because it was suspected the accutane med I was taking was causing inter cranial hypertension, which wasn't the case)
MRI, lumbar puncture, blood work and neurological exams normal. Pressure for lumbar puncture = 11. Pain med provide very little, usually no relief including prodeine forte and tramadol.
Tests showed no physical abnormalities or anything 'nasty' like a brain tumour/blocked blood vessel.
The pain can often 10/10 and incapacitating leading me to a hospital admission and a lot of missed school, and I haven't being able to exercise or play sport for 2+ months :(
Sometimes when the pain is very severe I struggle to cope, I can do nothing but lay on the floor with 3-4 ice packs for hours and I am scared I might do something terrible to end the pain. The hospital sent me home because they couldn't find a physical cause and said they can't treat me if it's not organic/medical..
Any ideas? Suggestions? Possible diagnoses?
