Hi Renae,   How awful to have chronic pain lasting six months. That is totally unacceptable, and I'm so sorry you are suffering - I know all about chronic pain.   I know you've been to lots of doctors, but it is time to get a new one.   One of the most important things is to get an accurate diagnosis. To simplify matters and make it easier for people to get information and treatment, doctors usually go by the gold standard for diagnosis, the International Headache Society's International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition (ICHD-II). Under ICHD-II, there is no diagnosis of "Ice Pick Migraine." You can read more about the importance of a correct diagnosis in The Type of Migraine Does Matter.   Ice Pick headache symptoms usually happen anywhere around the head in short, burning, stabbing,  "ice pick" like sensations. The pain typically lasts from five to 30 seconds and come "out of the blue." There may be many or few attacks a day. Take a look at this article for more information: Ice Pick Headaches - The Basics.   Having said all that, since your doctor is not helping you it's time to consult a Migraine and headache specialist. I know you are tired of seeing doctor after doctor, but it is important to see an expert now. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special?
