I have a very good friend who is deaf. She is in her early twenties. She has been having severe headach and neck pain for about six weeks now. She did go to a doctor, he has put her on pain meds, an anti-inflamitory meds. She is scheduled for an MRI on the tenth of July. She woke up today and her head and neck are swollen, she is in a lot of pain. My problem is I am trying to get her to go to the ER or at least inform her Dr. of the swelling. She does not want to do either one, she wants to wait until her appointment time, then tell her Dr. Any suggestions? Faye Brown
