Axert also stops neck/shoulder pain....what does this mean?
I have chronic neck and back pain, alot of headaches, some of them migraine. I have been prescribed Axert for the migraines, but have noticed that it will also often stop the neck pain. I cannot get a diagnosis (or treatment) for my neck/back pain, and am wondering if the fact the axert also affects the neck/back pain might be diagnostic?

Try keeping a diary of your back and neck pain and your Migraines. Neck pain can be a symptom of a Migraine. I can't diagnose, but when triptans such as Axert relieve neck pain, it's usually because the neck pain was part of the Migraine.
If you haven't already, please bring up this subject with your doctor. You're right that it might be helpful in diagnosing your neck pain.
Good luck,
Teri
