Ive been dealing w/ whiplash pain for 4 mnths. I’ve been on multiple migraine meds, abortive & preventative. Ive already had 1 series of occipital nerve blocks from the neurologist, who also said I have muscle spasms as a result of accident
Ive seen a chiropractor since February. X-rays show loss of my cervical curve. I recently had an MRI which oddly came out normal, yet I am still in lots of pain. I still get the migraines, & my neck is killing me on a daily basis.
I also go to physical therapy. They have tried many different types of therapy, light therapy, massage therapy, and others to no avail. My headaches have gone down in severity, but I still have them, along with the neck pain daily. They have about given up on me. We are now working on strengthening my neck muscles.
This week I get a cortisone shot to the back of my neck, & the Dr thinks it will help, but if not, next step is a nerve block in the spine. Anyone have experience with this treatment? I am quite nervous

I’ve been having a lot of knee pain lately because of cheerleading. I really enjoy doing it, but i don’t know if I should continue doing it because the pain doesn’t seem to be going away. I went to a doctor and even go to physical therapy. Nothing seems to be helping. Should i try out for the upcoming season or try a different sport?
