Good they’ll look at referring you, I hope that goes well…
Re pain relief for vascular symptoms, sleeping with your head propped up (so with a wedge pillow or lots of pillows) can help with head pressure, & I found a V-shaped orthopaedic/ nuring pillow helped take the pressure off the sides of my neck. Heat or ice can sometimes help, and some members have found that taking an ani-coagulant helps, like Brilinta - there have been some discussions about this sort of medication you could have a read up on using the search function. Nerve pain is often an issue- there are medications which are good for this like Gabapentin or Amitriptyline for example (they’re anti-depressants or anti-convulsants which work well for nerve pain), if you’ve not tried anything like that then the Neurologist should be able to help you with that.
One of our members @Lemontree , has had surgery with Thomas Milner in Scotland, although not sure where he is. It was intra-oral robotic surgery, she’s mentioned it in this discussion:
