Has anyone ever heard of cervicogenic headaches? I've read an article and think that I may have this in addition to the fibromyalgia and chronic migraines.

Members validated the question about cervicogenic headaches by sharing their own experiences with severe migraines linked to neck problems, with several noting that cervical disc issues like bulging discs at C5-C6 were identified through MRI and believed by their neurologists to trigger their migraines. Many members described practical strategies for managing pain, including dark quiet rooms, pain medication, Botox injections, and in some cases spinal fusion surgery for disc problems. A recurring theme was the interconnected nature of fibromyalgia and spine issues, with members emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis through imaging, working closely with specialists, and being prepared to make lifestyle adjustments as conditions progress.

Fi romyalfia begins attacking mild, i have chronic fibromyalgia which trigger osteoarthritis, i had a fusion of two disks, i will need another in the lumbar spine. Spunal Stenosis and cant walk up/down stairs. Not complaining but people need to know that fibromyalgia brings other complcations and we must be ready to take risks and make life changes, including healthy eating. We must understand what this means to us as individuals.

Yes I have them. It is due to my problem on all my cervical discs. Apparently drs think my fibro is due to my spine issues. You would need an MRI to back it up.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, I spoke with my doctor's nurse since she is out on leave this month. She's going to talk with my doc when she returns about it and we'll go from there.
