Random Headaches
« on: September 30, 2009, 11:16:05 pm »
I don't have anything like the headaches I had pre-surgery.  I do have weird little headaches across the left side of my head.  Sometimes it throbs on and off.  A couple of times I got a nasty pain that just shot across that side.  It seriously hurt and was enough to make me stop everything.  Weird?

I had similar situations after my surgery, never really had any bad headaches but I would get sharp pains that I never experienced before my surgery. However, I've said several times in my posts that if I feel a headache or strange pain start in my head I will take aspirin immediately and I find that I don't have any problems. That has been my only pain pill of choice, Mr. Bayer....

For the first couple of months post op, I did not have headaches. I was beginning to hope that the surgeons removed something that had caused my headaches that I had had for years. Alas, the migraines came back. I've been reading about sleep apnea, and how that can cause morning headaches, so I'm going to pursue that. . . .

Best,
