What Causes Chronic Migraine And Pain In The Neck?
Hello - I have chronic migraines for 30 years and have had neck pain and shoulder pain for several years mostly on left side. Had nerve ablation on C2, C3 and I think C4 October 2016. Over past 2 years developed hip pain and over past month heel pain and now A week ago the tip of my left middle finger is cold and a little tingles. All on left side. My sister has MS. Should I be concerned with MS or maybe this is another nerve or muscle issue. Thank you.

Hi,
In my opinion, the pain that you are feeling all over the body is not related to a migraine. It can be rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest you do a complete blood count and rheumatoid factor level to confirm the cause.
Meanwhile, you can use anti-inflammatory medication to reduce the pain such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
