I have some cervical spinal stenosis, but every morning I wake up with moderate to severe pain behind my eyes ,sinus passages and sometimes even lower back. The pain is lessened with ibuprophen but sometimes progresses to a full blown migraine. With a 3 year old I am desperate to focus completely on her instead of seeing the world through a cage of pain. Any suggestions?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. You have three distinct problems contributing to pain, and each of them needs to be tackled to make you pain-free. For cervical stenosis, please consult a neurosurgeon to decide whether you need surgery or epidural injections. If not, then, physiotherapy and medications (such as pregabalin) would help. For sinus, show to an ENT surgeon, and take a course of antibiotics if needed. In addition, steam inhalation and nasal decongestants are beneficial. For migraine, please use preventive medications such as topiramate. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
