Is it unusual to have a long lasting severe headache for up to six weeks along with ice pick headaches ? told its chronic migraine but pain doesnt feel like migraine and is non stop for up to six weeks when it suddenly dies offf but never goes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As mentioned previously, you possess a pattern very consistent with Chronic Daily Migraines, and likely it is related to the frequent use of analgesic medications. See a neurologist, and start a prophylactic treatment to break up this pattern.
