When someone becomes injured at work, they need to know what to do, and what not to do. The very first step is to obtain first aid or any other medical treatment that is necessary. If a physician is needed, it is important they are authorized by the workers’ compensation board and are experienced in cases and claims. The next step is to notify management. Management will need to know about the personal injury, when it occurred and the way in which it occurred. 

Following early treatment, an individual may feel fully recovered, or even worse. Pain physicians always encourage patients to be upfront and clear about pain level and symptoms, so they can better determine when the patient is able to safely return to work.

Migraine | Headache | Pain Management | Tyler TX

Each June the medical community and patients work together to increase awareness of migraines and headaches. It is estimated more than 37 million Americans experience migraines on an ongoing basis, with countless people experiencing headaches as part of daily life. The pain management physicians at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler understand that headaches and migraines can become debilitating in Tyler, Texas residents. This is why we want to take the time to bring awareness of these two common health conditions and explain how they differ. 

Headaches are simply defined as unwanted and unpleasant pains located in the head area that causes pressure and aching. The pain can range from a mild annoyance to severe discomfort, and typically occurs on both sides of the head. The most common areas impacted include the temples, forehead and back of the neck, and the pain can last from only minutes to a week. 

Many people think of a migraine when a severe headache occurs, and that is simply not the case in many patients. A migraine is classified as a neurological disease with a number of different subtypes. Migraines not only cause pain in the head, they are also linked with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to sound and light, seeing spots and temporary vision loss. Migraines usually impact just one side of the head and cause intense pain that makes daily activities difficult to impossible.
