Spinal or brain problems?

For the past few months, I've been having very bad spinal problems and extreme migraines. My doctor has been throwing pain killers at it and recently had me get an MRI of my brain because no matter what he gave for them, the pain would not go away and I was hospitalized for a day. Twice, and with an IV. Now there has been an MRI ordered for my back as it's acting the same way, and even after two high doses of Percocet within one hour in the ER and an anti-inflammatory, the pain would not stop. Now, I have been to my doctor and am going again tomorrow to get my spine checked up and the MRI ordered, but I would like to know what those who are experienced in this think could be wrong.

Answers:
If the test comes back negative on the back, you should request a cat scan on the brain and spine. An MRI does not always show everything that's going on. I wish I could tell you exactly what your problem is, but it's really impossible doing this through the internet. If you've had any type of injury to your spine that could definitely be where this is coming from.

I do suggest you place an ice pack at the back of your neck and on your spine at L-5 for fifteen minutes at a time. See if this does anything to lessen the pain.

My thoughts are with you,
