Headaches Post AN Surgery

[danijake]

Ibuprofen eases the pounding, but the headache is still there. So I take lots of ibuprofen and Pepcid AC for my tummy. I can handle a dull ache, but not "the heartbeat"

hi...I am new to this discussion forum, so please forgive me if I am out of turn.  I am at my wits end and am hoping someone has a similar ailment and maybe an answer...so far I have been unable to find a doctor who can figure this out...

Before my surgery, I lead a very active life style...running, biking, soccer, paddling, tennis...you name it, I loved it....

It took a while to get my feet back on the ground.   I have headaches daily and have been told that is too be expected.  The really weird thing is that whenever I exercise I get this horrible stabbing pain in the front part of my ear.  It's like a knitting needle stabbing me in the side of my head...it's awful, not to sound like a baby but it can bring me to tears. 

Anyone out there experiencing this crazy pain?....I refuse to live my life horizonal!

Thanks for listening...Cindy....

Hi, Cindy.  Those of us who post in the "headache" section know exactly what you're talking about.  You should geta copy of the ANA's booklet on headaches.  I think you will find it and this forum very helpful.
