My husband has migraines virtually every single day since he was 29.
I’m trying to get good advice on what else and how it’s contributing to his migraines.
He is 65 now. He was a USAF fighting pilot for fifteen years and was sent into early retirement (the from the age of 23-38).
Early retirement was due to his sinuses. His sinuses ruptured in flight in 1986. He has had 8 major surgeries (in hospital) and ~30 minor (local anesthesia) over the years, 5 of which were from USAF, then 2 from the best ENT in the country, all while in the Air Force. The USAF doctors gave up after the first 5).
He is a “Textbook Case,” meaning ENT doctors all over the country use his condition as to teach, reference and research.
His neck and back are traumatized from jumping out of planes. He receives 90% disability from the VA 50% for sinuses, 40% for back. Now, after an MRI on his neck he’s applied for the last 10%.
My question(s) is, “Does anyone know if the brain trauma, back trauma and/or neck trauma contribute to his migraines headaches he has every day?” I believe they do. I prefer not to have opinions. I want answers (not necessarily the correct answer, but educated information.)
Please advise.
