04/20/18 -- I know it's been awhile since my last posting. I have been dealing with a headache that just doesn't want to go completely away. This headache really keeps me from doing things that I like doing especially when it involves being on the computer and stuff like that. Right now it is finally at a reduced level of pain.
I ended up doing to Madison to see a physician's assistant, one that was seeing patients in place of the one that I normally had been seeing. She was on vacation for the week. Any way the Physician's Assistant that I saw, did all of the same tests that I have had done before. She did ask a lot of question, which I didn't mind answering because they helped to think about the headache pain. For once for I had actually noticed that the headache was a bit different than the one that I had for two years.
After much conversation we came to the conclusion and agreement that I would allow her to give me 4 occipital injections, in 4 different areas of my head, in the back of my head. I felt rather strange after those injections. I don't know how to explain how I was feeling. I was concerned to the point that I sent a message to the Physician's Assistant, that I originally saw 2 years ago, now. She told me to make a follow up appointment with her, if I don't start feeling better.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that the one PA suggested that I go to Physical Therapy. So, I had my first appt with a PT last Monday. That PT actually gave me a certain exercise that no other PT has ever given me, to do. When I do this exercise, I do feel a certain type of stretching that I feel in the back of my neck. That is a good thing according to the PT. There for awhile I was feeling strange throbbing pain up certain parts of my head, that only went away when I did those stretches. This stupid headache has kept me from doing things that I want to do, like going to church, bible studies, and such. It's very frustrating to not be able to do things that I want to do and in some cases, I really should do.
