How Can Chronic Migraine Be Treated?

I have had headaches/migraines since the 7th that won't go away no matter what I take. Today my Dr gave me a shot of toradol in my hip it made the headache go away for about two hours then it just came right back. I have taken 4 ibuprofens and it still won't go away. What do I do?
