If you'll accept some info from someone other than a doctor? Anyone can SAY they're a doctor here, and some doctors don't know much about Migraines anyway. Besides, even the best of doctors and those most experienced with Migraines can't diagnose you via the Internet without examining you. You need to have your parents make an appointment and take you to see your doctor. You shouldn't have Migraines every day, and if you're taking pain medicine for them every day, the medicine could be making things worse by causing headaches called medication overuse headaches or rebound headaches. Pain in the extremities can be related to Migraines, but you won't know if the foot pain is related to your Migraines until you see a doctor. BTW, have you actually been diagnosed with Migraines? Migraine is a genetic neurological disease, not just bad headaches.

Having been a Pediatrician for 25 years I know that migraines every day are not normal. There are so many things it could be that I would not want to state them all on the internet.
The bottom line here is that you do need to be seen and followed for this problem. If it is migraines there is a lot that can be done today that was not available 10 years ago.

I'm a nurse, not a doctor but if you allow me, I will try to help you. I suspect that you haven't been diagnosed with migraine headaches. That's the first step. There are effective medications to abort migraines and to treat them, if that is in fact what you are experiencing. As to the foot pain, I can't help much with that. You'd need an exam and possibly imaging. I strongly suggest that you ask your parents to schedule a doctor's appointment for you. This condition of yours is most likely treatable.

There could be oh so many reasons for migraines, and leg pain. You should consult a dr. Live.

I'm sure there are many doctors on line but do you think they will be able to give you sound advise without examining you? A good doctor will not venture treatment for something he has not seen. Btter ask your parents to take you to the doctor ASAP. You cannot rely on the answers you get here.

sounds like maybe sciatic nerve (sp?) the migrane could be lots of things but at 13 im gonna guess maybe puberty your pituitary gland is doin lots right now and can offset your chemistry and sometimes causes migranes .. id go to a dr tho dont just let it hang out there headaches can be symptoms of much bigger problems.

You need to go to a doctor and have him/her check for blood clots. Seriously.
