sanderson Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Hey, has anyone had any experience with cervical facet injections? My migraines are super flared up right now, worse than they have ever been with nothing working that well for them, and I have finally decided to address the cervical spine. I have significant facet arthritis and done everything I could for it, but have avoided injections. Just call me "procedure adverse". Regardless, when you are desperate, you will try anything, which is both good and bad. But I digress. I am doing C3-4 and C4-5 on the right, hoping that it will help the facet pain which will lessen the migraines that it triggers. My question to my clusterbuddies is whether I should expect this to affect the CH one way or another? Has anyone else had these injections who has CH and did it help or not? Fingers crossed. Like I ever uncross them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyssaaaa Posted Saturday at 05:41 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:41 AM Hi! No I haven't, but this is interesting. I've only done occipital nerve blocks twice. Each time I got relief from my episodic CH for only like 1-2 days. From a CH standpoint, this injection would likely help or do nothing. I don't think it would hurt or trigger anything. Good luck and don't forget to report back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
