  1. I had my ruptured aneurysm over 8 years ago and they performed a craniotomy to stop the bleeding. Every since then, I have had horrible headaches and tried different medications and oxygen to attempt to alleviate them. I contacted the surgeon's office and they would not help. The neurologist that I had defined them as cluster headaches. The frequency of my headaches was 24/7/365 and they became so severe at times that I have had multiple trips to the ER. Most of my daily constant pains were about a 4 level and I could deal with those because when one hit, it felt like a constant sucker punch with the feelings of hopelessness. Those happened about 2 times a day. Over the years, I have lost hope because I have tried about 15 or 20 different medications but 2 years ago, a neurologist had a list of every medication that I had tried and pointed me to a pain specialist. Dr. Gary Reasor put me on Methadone and I went loopy. He then wanted to try radio frequency ablationing and it changed my world Now I have 1-2 headaches 24/7 and the most severe headache I have had was about a 6 or 7. When it reaches 5 months since my last shot, I can feel it coming back and that is very depressing but then I get the shot and am good again. I believe it was Dr. Reasor who told me that the reason I have these headaches is from a damaged nerve when they performed the craniotomy. The clinic that Dr. Reasor is at is called Metro Pain Associates and it is in Louisville, KY. I am not saying that everyone needs an Ablation but if somneone has had head trauma and is suffering from Cluster headaches, then they should look into it.
