  If u had a MRI b4, I would deff suggest getting copies of that MRI and ur most recent MRI.....and ask for the report as well,many times there could be issues that u r not told as they r looked on as incidental.....

I have been thru what u r going thru and it is enuff to cause the stress they claim we already have.....get the MRI copies and do some research on drs in ur area....u know ur body, push for answers.

Hi,
How are you? Migraine usually presents with throbbing type of headache while pressure in the head may be associated with another primary headache, tension headache. I agree with selma that you should identify the possible triggers including the activity and food you ate before the headache attacks. Back ache can be due to a variety of issues also such as musculoskeletal conditions that needs to be evaluated further by your doctor. Weakness in the limbs may be an associated symptom and may occur in certain types of migraine headache. If it persists, you may need to have this checked for proper diagnosis.Take care and do keep us posted.

  Hi, I would be curious if this is the fist time u experienced this???...If not, have u had a brain MRI w/wo contrast?.....

If this is the first time....I would ask what u did the preceding days b4 this started???

Sometimes what we ate, drank, or if we suffered an injury can have an effect....so look closely, and talk with ur dr.Nething that lasts 4 or more days deff see a dr.
