Doug,
Just picked up this thread today. Sorry to hear about your daughter Amanda. I had surgery 3.5 years ago and have had chronic headaches since. Some days are just unbearable. I take Neuontin 3*300mg per day. On really bad days, i double that. Does this drug help me? well, it does coz when i don't take it, the pain is unbelievable.
I have tried accupuncture, loads of anti inflam meds, cortizone injected into the cut area of the head, all to no avail. I continue to see other doctors in the hope that someone has a magical cure. there are a few headache based threads on this site where you can pick up some snipets of info.
I reckon my headaches are caused by the physical trauma of the op (maybe my surgeon was late for his golf game).
I am told that in most cases, the headaches go away over time. I guess there are always exceptions.
i do hope that you find Amanda some pain relief and if you do, let us know.
Larry
