A member asked:

I'm 50/m. my neurosurgeon recommended not to treat a cerebral aneurysm measuring 3mm and monitor annually. the headaches that led to this incidental finding persists after 9 weeks - it hurts when sneeze or bend. how do i find remedy? which dr. to see?

Since some studies have noted that aneurysms typically must be larger than 9 mm prior to rupture, the recommendations make sense. The headaches are NOT caused by the aneurysm and may be due to sinusitis, TMJ or dental issues, neck problems, or tension cephalgia but more likely migraine mechanisms. A medical neurologist who deals with headaches would be the next step.
