Ryan was just at Dr. Blakes this afternoon for his 2 month follow up. She (and us too) was disappointed that he isn't showing signs of improvement as far as the headache goes. His neck pain and tenderness is gone, however, so that's good. She gave him 2 shots above the eyes in the supratrochlear nerves. So we are back to nerve blocks again, but he hasn't had this one yet so we'll see what it does for him. Immediatly it made his head worse, but I think that would happen to anyone who just got shots in their head. We'll be paying attention over the next few days to see how he responds. He has to go back in 2 weeks for another set of the shots. This is all a precursor to the 2nd nerve decompression surgery which she feels he is a candidate for. Ryan, however, is not willing to get the surgery until he has given his body long enough to respond from the first one. Dr. Perry seemed to think that Ryan was slower to heal due to all the scar tissue he had and he may take longer than the typical 3 months. We're going to wait and see. Nomorepain and others, how long did it take you to finally feel a dramatic difference after the surgery? I know many have felt better and then worse again and then better. I am hoping he is in the "worse again" phase and will get better from here. He was 2 months post op on the 17th. dapapillion, are your migraines better? Everyone who is post-surgery.... how many months are you post surgery and how are you feeling? We need encouragement! -drmeows
