Thunder clap headaches and neck pain

"Thunder clap headaches and neck pain"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as a service user),

Last year I was referred to have an MRI scan done of my head and neck after suffering a sever thunder clap headache. I was referred to see a clinician in orthopaedics (specialises in foot and ankle).

I had my MRI done but I was still experiencing symptoms therefore chased my MRI results. I spoke to the clinician's secretary who confirmed my case had been closed down as no findings on my MRI and a letter will be signed and posted to me. I am concerned that my symptoms remain and that there has been no neurology input giving the specific symptoms I am experiencing!

I am sorry to hear of the thunder clap headaches you are experiencing and that you had to chase your MRI results to find out that your case has been closed. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for you.
