Well, I'm almost two months post-op now and things are starting to improve. My chief complaint, following surgery, was headaches on the surgery side. I tried a variety of techniques to keep the headaches at bay and nothing seemed to work. Mine were always at night, so I assumed they had to do with the pressure around the surgery site. The side of my head would swell up some times, so I'd use ice occasionally. These headaches almost always woke me up at night. I would take 1-2 Vicodin or Tylenol depending on the severity. This went on every day post-op until recently.
I'm happy to say the headaches are now starting to be less frequent and not as severe. I only had three this week, which is really great! My head isn't as numb anymore around the surgery site, so these are all good signs. I have posted a few post-op problems I was having in earlier threads. And as these problems self-correct or improve, I want to make sure I update these changes. Positive updates are very important for all of us to read.
I've read quite a few posts about headaches and was very concerned when I started having them. And as many ANers have posted, not everyone ends up with headaches after treatment. I was unfortunate to have them, but now it looks as though they are going away. What a relief! I wish I could say that about my tinnitus
Maybe one day that will also be a thing of the past.
Improving each day!
Dave
