Post Surgery Headache Medications?

(1/2) > >>

OllieO:
Hi

I had 3cm AN removed via the translab about 2 weeks ago. They gave me oxycotin and recommended taking ibuprofen.

The ibuprofen seemed to work at 1st. But now it's ineffective and my head throbs almost everytime I move or adjust my head. And unbearable when I wake-up.

I know I'm still relatively new out of surgey (stitches still in) but does anyone have recommendations for OTC medications and how long I can expect them (headaches) to last?

ANSydney:
Does your headache get better or worse if you are lying done versus standing up?

OllieO:
Going from standing to lying or lying down to standing or even sitting to standing cause equal amounts of pain. I also never lie flat, usually propped/elevated even b4 I had the AN surgery.

ANSydney:
That's interesting. Why did you not lie flat before the surgery?

OllieO:
Oh, I've slept elevated since I was a child, lol. I can sleep flat, it's not tumor related, just uncomfortable. I will say they had me lying flat in the ICU and it made me nauseas then.
