There are other primary headache disorders that can cause unilateral pain other than migraine. One is a primary stabbing headache. This headache often occurs in people with migraine. The pain itself generally lasts a fraction of a second but can last for up to one minute in some people. Another type of stabbing headache is called paroxysmal hemicrania. This is marked by episodes of stabbing or sharp pains that occur on one side of the head and may be associated with eye tearing or runny nose.

Hi,
Thanks for the update. Indeed, with a normal MRI result, the diagnosis of primary headaches such as migraine increases. If the medications prescribed are not working, you my need to inform your doctor for proper management. You can also ask for another doctor's opinion to ease any anxiety in the diagnosis. There are many migraine variants today and it is best that you discuss the specific type of migraine with your doctor. Both abortive and preventive medications may help.
I took Celebrex for several years for joint pain due to Crohn's. I keep having bowel obstructions so I went to a new dr. He told me to stop taking the Celebrex and start taking a tylenol everyday. I have not had any more obstructions but I do still have some joint pain.
t remember what it was but it didnt seem to help, so he prescribed diclofenac and it caused me to retain water so he prescribed Celebrex, which I felt was working, but when I went for my regular check up he had blood work done and low iron were the results. So now he is requesting the upper GI evaluation. I am currently just taking extra-strength Tylenol. I took Tylenol arthritis, but it didn't seem to help any more than just regular extra-strength Tylenol.
During one of the ER visits the dr said I have costochondritis and prescribed celebrex and Percocet for the pain.
My husband went through something similar....he head a headache for 9 months straight. He had a CAT scan, MRI, went to see a neurologist, had prescription triptans migraine pills, saw an acupuncturist but nothing nothing helped. I know this is going to sound crazy, but try going to a chiropractor. Within 3 sessions he could already feel a huge difference. For 9 months he had this and for 9 months we could not to a single thing to make it go away....
The tests you need to ask for are Free T3 and Free T4, which are actual thyroid hormones and TSH which is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. Many doctors will only want to order the TSH - insist on the Free T3 and Free T4, as well.
No, it would be unheard of for Celebrex to damage your heart valve. Celebrex and similar drugs do cause high blood pressure in many individuals, though.
You might have gone forever and not known about the heart valve if you had not gotten high blood pressure from the Celebrex. Follow whatever advice the cardiologist gave you, and don't worry.
This might not be a potential case for lawsuit. These are the known side effects of celebrex, which may be more pronounced in some individuals. Though celebrex carries the risk of gastritis and GI ulceration, like other NSAIDS; the incidence is slightly lower as compared to others. Symptom of GI reflux can be aggravated by it. Rhythm abnormalities (early de-polarisation/ re-polarisation) may not be related to celebrex use.
I just got this diagnosed and the gave me a steroid shot in the inflammed area ...the dr also gave me a script for celebrex to keep inflammation down.....i really don't feel like taking these pills because of side effects....would it really be bad for the healing if i don't take them?
One day later I developed a fever of over 101. The is extreemly high for me because I usually run around 96. I also had a headache. I thought I had some sort of a flu. I do have SLE. Today I still have a low grade fever. I have had injections in the past and when I think about it, I believe I reacted the same way. I have been on Prednisone for many many years and recently have be weaning off. I also receive Benlysta once a month. Prior to the Benlysta I recieve Solumedrol IV.
Ultimately, you should see what your doctor thinks is best for you. If your doctor insists on Celebrex, you may want to contact the company and see if they have any discount coupons that your pharmacy can process. Many companies do this. The company to contact is Pfizer. For more information on pain management, please visit our link at: http://www.everydayhealth.com/pain-management/index.
