Hello friends,
I saw my Neuro surgeon today for my lower lumbar spine issues. He recommended a pain injection as my lower back pain is not giving a relief.

Have been suffering with headaches for 3years. Have seen numerous neurologists and had many medications and tests with no answers. I am being treated for dystonia and tremors with botox injections.
Yes both my headaches can be really bad and start the moment I wake up - I get tumours if im am extremely stressed. I have no cure for either so if you find one let me know 🙂
