Been there, done that- same story- chiropractic saved me- nothing would work on my headaches, prescription pain killers just took the edge of a bit.Chiropractic saved me!!I had a car accident about 5yrs ago and still suffer wiv bad headaches any one got any gud advice pls?
ah that must be a post traumatic headache or post concusion headache. some tests may not show anything but if a good resolution cranial MRI will be done, maybe it will show the problem, but i don't think its necessary at all. Go to a neurologist if you want better treatment options. THEY KNOW BEST...
I can't say for sure but from being on the computer for the last 5 1/2 years and seeing all the info on forums etc. I have read many post where there has been someone who has been invold in a vehicle accident and is currently experiencing head pain from the accident. Most our now currently under a neurologist care. For that you would have to be referred to by your general doctor. You just need to check with your insurance to see what plan and who they cover and then ask your doctor out of those neuro's which one would s/he refer you to.


Then their are plenty who are getting help through their general practitioner too.


Either way, I do not want to diagnose you but there is always the possibility that you could be experiencing Migraines or neck/spine spasms which trigger migraines. Either way there are meds that can help you.


There are daily meds that you can take that help in keeping the head pain from happening. Then there is some meds that you can use to help when the pain starts that you take or inject to abort the pain.


Either way you really need to speak with someone on this.


Meanwhile go to the Topamax.com site and the Imitrex.com site and read up on those two meds. There are more. You can contact me and I can give you a couple migraine sites to read up on if you like.


You do need to speak with your doctor though. Even if nothing is found does not mean that you should not be on some kind of pain med.


Take care now!

did you report it to the police at the time of the accident?have you kept all the records and documentation?.have you got a solicitor dealing with this case?.Were the doctors specialists?It could be blood vessel problems or there was damage and severe bruising that has left it,s mark.they will find the problem ,it just takes time,and may not happen until other symptoms occur.
Learn how to drive properly......
well i am guessing you hit your head during this car accident, i sense that you might have a migrain problems? as thats how migrains work, i think you should go back to the doctors and just explain how painful the headaches actually are. or even go to hospital when you next have one and explain how much pain you are in, they might give you a head scan, this will sound horrible; but sometimes this is the way tumours begin.





good luck, i wish you all the best x
Tell your doctor that no matter what tests come back as negative you still feel this way so they should help you out and do something about it!


Or see a different doc!
first, see a Dr.


It is probably a neck issue but you need to be seen by medical professionals.
Here are some testimonials of people who also had a car accident in their later years..





Female, Age 56 years, Neck Pain, Headaches, Chronic Fatigue


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

This 56-year-old female suffered from chronic neck pain, headaches, and fatigue for years. She thought the problems may have started sometime after an auto accident she experienced 14 years before. During the accident, she was hit head-on and totaled her car. The pain bothered her on and off for years-- sometimes on a daily basis and other times a month would go by without pain. She tried many practitioners such as massage therapists and chiropractors and received some relief but still the problem continued year after year. Finally, after struggling over a decade, she sought help from upper cervical chiropractic care.


During her upper cervical chiropractic exam, an upper neck injury was found, most likely stemming from her auto accident. Unfortunately the injury had never been addressed by any of her previous practitioners. After only 3 upper cervical adjustments, her neck injury was corrected. All neck pain, headaches, and fatigue healed and never returned.








Male, Age 34 years, Head Injury, Whiplash, Headaches, Sleep Disorder, Fatigue


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

This 34-year-old male suffered a head injury during an auto accident in which he was rear-ended at 50mph. He described severe pain in his neck and back and headaches that originated at the base of his skull and spread to his left eye. His pain was so severe that it prevented him from sleeping, so he suffered from severe fatigue. To maintain some level of function during the day, he relied on multiple caffeinated beverages such as jolt or bull colas and/or coffee. At the time of his initial upper cervical chiropractic evaluation (14 months after the accident), he had been suffering with all of the above symptoms for over a year. He had sought help from numerous practitioners including physicians, neurologists, and therapists, to no avail. He reported receiving some temporary relief from Pilates.


During his evaluation, an upper cervical injury was discovered, which had likely been caused by his auto accident. After the first month of care, be began to notice less pain and a slightly better ability to sleep. By the third month of care, he was reporting a larger reduction in pain levels, which was enabling him to resume exercising. After six months, all pain was absent, normal sleep was resumed, and he was able to partcipate in all previous activities and sports, including working full-time.





Male, Age 56 years, Headaches


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

This 56-year-old male was rearended on the freeway at 60 mph. The impact rendered him unconscious and he awakened in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. At the hospital, some broken ribs and bruises were found but no other injuries were reported. Some mild headaches occurred several days after the accident and then temporarily went away. A couple of months later, the headaches returned and occurred daily. After visiting his family physician and neurologist who did not have any suggestions, he was referred for an upper cervical chiropractic evaluation.


At his initial evaluation, an upper neck injury was discovered that likely stemmed from the auto accident. During the first month of upper cervical care, the headaches diminished considerably. By the third month of care, all headaches were absent.





Male, Age 25 years, Post Auto-accident Neck Pain, Headaches, Numbness in Hands, Fatigue


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

After an auto-accident last spring, this 25-year-old male experienced spinal pain, fatigue, restlessness, headaches, and numbness in his hands for the last 6 months. After the first adjustment, his symptoms improved substantially. One month later, he did not need to be adjusted again and all of his symptoms were completely gone. Eighteen months later, he had no return of symptoms.


TESTIMONIAL





';I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Elster for her outstanding chiropractic care. I had been suffering for 6 months from chronic fatigue, restlessness, numbness of fingers and hands, neck pain, and headaches after a car accident. Upon referral from my girlfriend, I decided to set all skepticism aside and visit Dr. Elster's office. Even though Dr. Elster noted my skepticism right away, she continued to explain the possibilities available for me. I do have to admit that I did not believe that her care would help to relieve my numerous symptoms. After she explained the reasons for my discomfort through x-rays, experience, and acquired knowledge, I agreed to treatment. The treatment itself was comfortable and I could see positive results within a short period of time. The only thing I still don't believe about Dr. Elster's treatment is that all of my symptoms had nearly disappeared within one week -- after only ONE adjustment! My only regret is that I did not seek Dr. Elster's help sooner. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. Thank you very much, Dr. Elster!'; Dennis, age 25, December '97








Female, Age 16 years, Post Auto-Accident Spinal Pain, Headaches


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

This 16-year-old female was a high school track star until an auto accident last spring. Following the accident, she experienced neck pain, low back pain, and headaches. The pain hindered her performance in track. In addition, her performance in school was affected-- her grades dropped and she had trouble concentrating in school.


Within a week of care, her pain disappeared and she began running track better, winning races, and eventually won her team's most improved award. Her ability to concentrate in school also came back up and so did her grades.
you must put your head down and your foot up its a way of circulation of blood in my country its call (pied coco) or you can take pills like syndol
My mom had the same symptoms after a car wreck. It finally got to the point where she was blacking out from the headaches. They ended up finding out that she had an excess buildup of spinal fluid. I'm not sure how it was treated, or if they determined that the car accident 5 years earlier caused it, but sounds like a similiar situation.
try some homeopathic remedies..... Acupuncture or I like to meditate always helps... trust me try it what have you got to lose!
