siviour pain only on right side of head (behind eye, inner ear & forehead)

Hi, I understand your pain-i have the same thing...my neurologist is calling it a C2-C3 nerve root triggered migraine, also been told by othe neuro's an occipital migraine. My new migraine doctor is the best! He moved and came back and I found him again!! He says that verapamil (calcium channel blocker for blood pressure) at 80 mg, twice a day will make it go away forever!! I believe him. Ask your doctors if they would consider trying a blood pressure pill as a preventative?? Worth a shot...my only complaint, as a women is it kinda numbs stuff below the waist...side effect. Might effect you in a different way, if it does have them change the drug, others may not. At this point, I don't care-i can't take the pain anymore! Hang in there and I wish you luck! (He has also ordered a cervical epidural local/steroid injection to C2-C3. You can have one every 3-4 wks, up to 3 a year. Usually hold the the last one until you really need it. He says it'll help considerably.) Talk to your neuro...when he pushed right up and behind my ear, sent electrical shocks to my face-don't recommend doing it, but your neuro might do it on exam...again, hang in there!! Amy
