I didn’t think it could get much worse than it was before the surgery, so I went ahead feeling that I had nothing to lose and my doctor had an 80 something percent success rate. I am now 2 years post surgery and I still am so tender that I cannot sleep lying down with pressure on the back of my head, I sleep in a sort of propped up position so that I do not have to put any weight on the back or top of my head. We have to try everything out there to find relief, but make sure you ask lots of questions- for example, what have patients experienced when the surgery is not considered successful.
Good luck!!!!

I have suffered greatly from migraine for close to 21 years-and the brain disorder has had a depressing and devastating impact on my life.
