Headache related to surgery?
« on: March 30, 2023, 12:27:26 pm »
I have been getting headaches in the back of my head, surgery side - would this be normal even if surgery was in 2017? Maybe its not related and just tension headaches but always on the side I had the removal

It must be a little scary for you, Kaci, to have headaches on the same side as you had your surgery 5 years ago.  I think it's only natural to want to connect them whether they are related or not.  I have heard of symptoms occurring a long time after surgery, but that always seems odd to me after such a long time since the surgery.

Kaci,
You are not alone! I had my surgery in 2017 and I am still having headaches on the same side too. They always start at the incision spot and radiate out! For a while I had bad stabbing headaches so my doctor prescribed Gabapentin, it totally helped the stabbing. But the headaches are still there. Tylenol seems to calm it down a little. It is frustrating and sometimes scary for me. I hope that you find some kind of relief. :) :)
Just wanted to let you know you are not alone! :)
