I suppose it could cause migraines...sounds logical, but no one really knows what causes migraines. you should talk to your doctor. serious injuries like that can resurface years later and cause more problems.

Yes- you got the right idea about the pain- picture having a severe migraine that light, sound and the smell of food makes you puke then add the pain of about 10 teeth that need root canals and put that pain -- well you know where, and oh, think about the pain you would feel if you were kicked in the cahones but kept getting kicked every 4,3,2,1 minute intervals for over say, anywhere from 4-24 hours-- that would equal the pain.

Believe it or not, a friend of mine was recently diagnosed with painless migraines.  I recommend that you discuss this with your doctor.

If you can get away. . .a dark room with no noise.  There are many prescription drugs to deal with migraines, but I have luck with an aspirin based over the counter medication, and at least an hour of QUIET and DARK.  Try to catch them early, before they knock you down.  I sympathize.

no - see another doctor........my 18yr. old cousin was bieng treated for migrain headaches - for 6mos. started having seizures and another doctor actually found that she had a mass on the brain that was cancerous, stage 4, terminal..........she died. you dont have time for mis-diagnosis, life is already to short.

I am a reflexologist and yes, I have helped many of my clients with their migraine's.  Start by working your big toe, where your frontal cortex is located.  A long the medial phalange to the end of the medial metatarsal.  These locations are your cervical(neck and upper back) and thoracic spine(mid back). Also Work the plantar foot under your toes.  This is where your trapezius and scapular muscles are located. Many headachs and migrains will start from the cervical spine so by releasing that tension even along your ocippital ridge will help reduce the pain. Every reflexologist is diffrent but it is important to get the work done. I have learned diffrent points and styles of reflexology and the best and most effective method was from Dr. Manzanares.  He's a medical doctor from Spain.  Very cool and knowledgable man.  Also look into CrainoSacral Therapy, very powerful stuff.

Only answering for myself, as I understand that a number of pains are listed under both "headache" and "migraine": a headache is a painful tightening of muscles of the skull and neck that result in pain.  This pain is like other pains such as toothache, bruise, etc., but a migraine feels like you do when you fall hard on the back of your head, like you got smacked with a two-by-four board, only, it doesn't go away in minute but stays and gets worse.

No. Blocking a sneeze does not kill brain cells, rather it can give you a stroke. Such a block has a high chance of raising the internal pressure of capillary brain vessels and cause a tear in them. If such thing occurs most of the time you need a surgery requiring opening the skull.

Lots of migraines are caused by irregular blood flow to the brain, caused by a variety of things. Excedrin migraine can help because it's 3 ingredients all do something to correct the problem: Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor and stimulant, Aspirin is a blood thinner and pain reliever, Tylenol is a pain reliever. \n\nA cup of coffee does the same thing as caffeine. A nice hot bath can help dilate blood vessels and increase relaxation and the steam does good things, too. Similarly a nice shoulder/neck massage can help relax muscles and blood vessels and provide some quick relief. Be sure to rub the base of the skull and around the temples.\n\nIf the above isn't working, you should try to avoid triggers. Some people have food allergies that can cause migraines. Some are triggered by inability to regulate body temperature (you've been exercising, and now it's time to cool off, but your body doesn't slow down like it's supposed to and you get a migraine). Some are triggered by bright or flashing lights. Some things you might avoid include chocolate, caffeine, and food dyes (red 40 and yellow 5). \n\nYour wife would do well to talk to a doctor (neurologist if possible, GP in a pinch). There are several prescription drugs for quick relief after a migraine starts, ask about Imitrex and Zomig. Both are available in pill, injection, and nasal sprays and start to work in less than 5 minutes (except for the pills, which takes about 40).\n\nHope that helps and good luck,\nOdd

I have suffered migraines since I was 10 and I am 48.  Try 2 Tylenol and 1 benedryl only if not allergic.  Put a warm compress across the forehead and lay down in a dark area.  After a couple of hours check on her and see if it has subsided.  If she continues to have the headache she needs to go to the hospital.  Headaches don't always happen because of her menstrual cycle.  Stress can cause this.  As far as a tumor don't worry unless a doctor  tells you its a tumor.  Get checked anyway.

well it depends. you might want to talk some ibuprofen or Tylenol. Put a hot pad or ice on your head and face,which ever feels the best. If not wait a couple of days and drink a lot of water and then you should go see a doctor.

Any time you have a head injury which causes the brain to "slosh" up against the skull, you are "concussing" the brain. A CT may not show anything if it is mild and no bleeding has occurred. The symptoms he is describing would seem to indicate quite a serious injury that would have been picked up on in the Emergency Department

Not that I know of.  Try a pregancy test and if the headaches continue, see your doctor.

Any loss of consciousness should be considered problematic.  Your friend probably suffered a concussion.  I strongly recommend having him/her checked out at the ER.

car accident with family about 7-8 years ago. nobody hurt but me. I got chronic whiplash. went through physical therapy, biofeedback, massage therapy, and have been on so many meds for it that most pills won't work for me anymore, and I developed an allergy to vicodin. now I get migrains, and the odd muscle spasm. really sucks. we got rear ended by a truck pulling a boat while pulling into a gas station. since we were hit while pulling it, it was at an angle, and hit the left corner of the back bumper. I was sitting in the back left seat, so I got the brunt of it all. but at least my parents and sisters were fine, and we didn't get hit worse. and insurance payed for all of my treatment, so that was fortunate as well.

without a doubt it can.  i see it in my practice daily.  i have patients who have been to specialists and on all kinds of medications with no real relief.  they then come to chiropractic as a "last resort", and almost always have great success with getting adjusted.  the biggest issue is that it may take some time to fix the problem that it causing the headaches.  some patients find relief quickly, others take longer.  the biggest issue is to dig deeper and fix the underlying cause of the headaches rather than just cover up the symptoms!\nhope that helps!

I dont know much about migrains, far from it. But I know a few things: A healthy lifestyle is good for you! Especially drinking enough water, and exercising. If that does not help, see a doctor and/or buy some anti-migrain drug.\n\nAlso, avoid candy, coffe, cigarettes, stress, artifial sweeteners and keep your blood sugar level steady! In other words: be healthy!
