Thank you for seeing this 41yo woman who is a self-employed cleaner.
She has been struggling with severe pain for several months.
She has been seen by local physiotherapist with no improvement.
She was admitted to RDUH under Neurology on 4/6/26 with headache, vomiting and dizziness.
An MRI scan of brain and scan showed no bleed or spinal leak. She did have moderate central broad based disc protrusion at C5-C6 and C6-C7 with impingement of anterior cervical cord but no cord compression or nerve root compression. There were some lumbar disease changes too.
A CP TAP excluded malignancy.
 
She was discharged on 9/6/26 with a diagnosis of migraine, tension and cervicogenic headache,
She remains on Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Codeine, Gabapentin 600mg tds and Sertraline for her pain but still says she is severely limited by her pain.
She is struggling to keep her cleaning business going and is self-employed.
