Hi Cinnamon Bear. I`m not anywhere near surgery but have just been re-referred back to a pain management clinic for cervical neck pain which I have lived with for well over 15 years now. It causes, what my GP and I now feel are called Cervicogenic headaches, but of course, have been treated as migrainous headaches for a number of years now, yet I don`t have migraines in the real sense. My one sided headaches are triggered by the discs in my neck.

My GP has told me that the pain clinic had me down for pain block injections....now I`m guessing these may be similar to the injections you have had? Corticosteroid? Did you find any relief at all from these injections and are they painful to have?

I really am managd by my pain rather than the other way around, so I`m just about to begin a new course of sessions with a pain clinic here in the UK. I feel for anyone out there who had back/neck issues that causes them disability. It`s hellish. Our wee hamsters see us through it all. x
