Hello.
I am concerned. Often, the worst headache of life is due to a ruptured aneurysm. It is possible that there is a re-rupture. Please get an MRI as soon as possible. There is no wisdom in suppressing the pain without treating or knowing the root cause.
Regards
I have a friend that had a subarachnoid aneurysm with a rupture in the right temporal lobe, in Dec. 1996. Since then she has had pain at the surgery site. The pain is unrelenting.
She takes several pain killers (narcotics) that only reduce the pain slightly. There are also many side effects.
I promised that I would try to find the cause and help her get the cure. I have been working on it for 9 years.
I have at least found that there are others out there like you, with the same condition.
Where can and do we go from here?

Dr.
In my fathers case he has had 3 CT scans post surgically that show that the swelling and blood spots have resolved, however, the headache does not show improvement.
Tylenol 3 did not work, therefore his Dr switched to depakote (also in lieu of dilantin) and tramadol.The tramadol made him very disoriented so we discontinued after 2 days and he became oriented again. Now, the depakote totally knocks him out and does not relieve the headache (upset stomach and nausea). The Dr. has now recommended that he take vicodin alone. I do not know what to think , and he really needs relief. He had a craniotomy on 12/13 for an unruptured a comm aneurysm. THank you for your time.
my fatheris going through exactly the same thing now. Have your mothers headaches subsided?
