I had my neck operated on in 2011 because of spinal stenosis. The neurologist said never let a chiropractor twist or manipulate your neck! I have headaches every day. I keep hoping for a miracle.

Hi, Same situation here, C1-2 successful fusion in March 2008, over the past year, I get headaches so painful that I’d rate them about a 7 on the pain scale of 1-10. After that I usually vomit from the pain. It starts at the screws and radiates to my temples, across my forehead, behind my eyeballs. Every pulse beat is agony. My neurosurgeon is determining if the screws need to be removed now. I’m only 41 and worry that I will be completely disabled in ten years...

I had fusion surgery December of 2015 on my c-3 to c-6. I've been having a lot of bad headaches, dizziness and chills up my neck ever since surgery. In the first month i was in and out of ER. Was having a lot of dizzy spells, headaches and chills that ran up the back of my neck into the crown of my head in which i got dizzy. they try to tell me it was anxiety, i knew better. i still have them to this day.Ive been seeing my doctor every 3 months because of my issue. Been back to see the surgeon and seen his assist. She said none of this was caused from my fusion, i believe it did. I have no answers.

I have the same problem, chronic headache for 40 years. Fusion surgery hasn't helped. Headaches are continuous. I was told it might take 6 months after my surgery to feel better. Its been 4 months with no sign of relief yet. I hope everyone in the same boat as me is having a good day today.

After 3 back surgeries and 1 neck surgery, I still suffer from incredible pain. It is getting worse each day and now hurts to walk. I woke up every day with a headache. What is going on?

I take gabapentin also an anti seizure med but very cheap. The continued neck pain and headaches are causing anxiety for me. But the gabapentin does help

I am fused at C5-6. However when C4-ac5 started to go I started having cervogenic headaches. I am now fused at C4-5 and still having them.
