I have been suffering from severe headaches for 3 years now. Just this year my doctor stood her ground and told the neuroligist my headaches were from what was going on with my neck. After many medications and alternative medicine procedures I was referred to a pain specialist. I received 2 epidural injections at the number 7 location in my middle spine and they were not successeful in treating my pian. The doctor wanted to try the steroid injections in the cervical facet joints at c1-5. They actually helped me after the second round. I just had the radio frequency treatment done and I hope this will help with the severe headache pain. The doctor said they can not treat the c-1 to 2 region in that manor though. Unfortunately that is where I have alot of pain and grinding. Thank you for the article. It helps to know I am heading in the right direction.
