If they are bad than Tordol shots do help anyone. However before going that route try to do some self care things: drink water, take ibuprofen or Aleve ( if possible NSAIDS shouldn’t be mixed with certain meds) try some caffeine, go to a dark place and put a cold towel around the neck.

Highly recommend asking your doctor when it comes to medical advice. You may get anecdotes and such on a forum, but in terms of actionable advice specific to someone’s own medical situation there’s no substitute for assessment by a qualified medical professional. Best of luck

Adam's advice is the only good advice you will get on a public forum when it comes to medical advice!

No different than any other medication. I know people it works wonders for and some it has done nothing but cause them other issues.
Best to just ask your doctor to see if it’s worth trying for your own circumstances.

Because you will find some docs are dead set against trying anything new.

That said, I had no luck at all with the numbing injections but I have now been getting botox (from a neurologist) for nearly a year now and have had a 90% decrease in migraines. Just keep asking for a new one if your doc will not think outside of the box.

Having said that, I recommend consulting with your dentist also. I had migraines in the early 1990’s. My dentist recommended surgical removal of my impacted wisdom teeth. I followed that advice and have not had a migraine since.
