Searing Pain with imitrex injections

I also use the Imitrex injections and experience a very hot flash of pain. Mine really doesn't go anywhere but the injection site (usually on my hip or thigh) but man oh man... do I feel your pain! It is worth the experience to get rid of the migraine though (for me). I would just about chop my own head off during a migraine if I could see enough to get to the kitchen! LOL! I don't think I would worry too much about it if I were you (though that is just my opinion) but I would keep my doctor informed especially since the pain goes up into your brain.... That sounds kind of scary. Good luck in your quest, and if you find out what it is, please post so that I will know too!
