instruction: hi doctor my husband is a 38 year old male who smokes and has degenerative disc disease from several car accidents no real treatment has been given to him aside from chiropractic visits to reveal tension in his lower back he does have many stresses with work and home life and is seeing a counsellor due to depression about a month now he has experienced daily headaches that would not go away often his headaches are accompanied by nausea and vomiting he has light sensitivity and I am sure also working on a computer adds to it often he feels the headache and it is manageable but there are times he feels it more just the other day he was having what he said was a cluster headache he is scheduled for a mri but I am extremely concerned it is a tumor or something bad any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated does degenerative disc disease cause daily headaches
