Someone close to me recently told me the thing that helps her migraines the most is a super strong antiinflammatory. She takes it (name escapes me) and two alleve gel caps, and it will go away. She has suffered from migraines for years. She also will take the imitrex...on occasion.
Cataholic-

I have actually gone to a Chiropractic and that helped with my leg stuff but never my actual back from hurting...I did try some massage therapy and that worked out for my lower back but it actually made my upper back/neck hurt worse.

This is what I have wrong with my back....multilevel degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, grade 2 spondylolisthesis of L5 on S1. There is 8 mm of anterior slippage of L5-S1.

Thank you so your suggestions and I will look into a Homeopathic though because I haven't tried that but I have to becareful because speciality appts. right now cost $20 each appt. and if we have to switch insurances it will become $50 each appt. which then I'll stop going to specialist.

My husband has been on all kinds of migraine meds and I'll have to check to see if he has any antiflammatory meds. It's not just his headaches though he has issues with his back that it's making it difficult for him to work as well which I'm hoping that once he starts phsyical therapy on Tuesday that will help him.

Thanks!
