I have had migraines for over 40 years. Having found a doctor that will do surgery to give me some relief is nothing short of a miracle after everything I have tried. Did insurance pay for your surgery? I am trying to get insurance to pay for my occipital nerve surgery and am now going to outside review. They will pay for the surgery on my nose to correct a deviated septum and a swollen conca bullosa but the occipital nerve surgery they say is still experimental. I am looking for further evidence to add to my claim. Any help?
