Skull Depression

Sorry this is like a giant novel and probably makes no sense but I need answers.


Ok, so Im 19 married and my husband and I found out we were expecting.  Everything was going fine till I was around 15 weeks when I started having the worst headaches imaginable so bad that my eyes and ears would start hurting horribly.  I told my OB's nurse practioner about it and she told me it was just swollen and not to worry about it and to take tyelenol for the pain, nothing helped.

Finally, I got to see my OB at my 34 week appointment and I asked her about it and she told me it was NOT normal and told me to go see a neuro before we have the baby.  So we go and see the neurologist and he does routine testing on me and asks me what sets off my headaches and I told him I have the constantly since I was 15 weeks and I told him any type of pressure that gets put on my head or anything hurts and makes the head ache more powerful.  He told me I should have a C-section to make sure everything is ok with me and baby because I couldn't have an MRI or CT while pregnant my OB wouldn't allow it.  So we had a C-section and had our son and the morphine and the other meds they had me on were suppose to take the pain away they told me from my head and it made it way worse it was the worst pain Id ever felt!!  I woke up crying in pain in the hospital and they had no idea what to do for me so I had to deal with it.  I had a CT scan 2 days after I had my son and the results came back normal.

Here I am 2 months post partum and I still have the skull depression the best way to describe it is a golf club, the handle of the club smashed into the top of my skull and left a dent.  When ever I wake up I have headaches so bad I have them all day and all night.  Ive also started to notice my ears aching again and my upper thighs and upper arms are so tender to the touch that it hurts for my husband to hug me to tight or for him to touch me.  I also have started having vertigo and seeing things like last night my husband was giving my son a bottle and it looked as if it was smoking and I asked him why and he said nothing was smoking.  I just want to know if anyone has the symptoms?  

Im new here so if it doesn't make sense please tell me.  Its late on my side where Im at so it may make no sense at all.  I can explain more if need be.

Thank you all

What a nightmare for you - have they checked your thyroid in all this?

I am not sure it could cause the massive head pain you get but it gives me headaches and also my skin and body is tender to the touch when I am undermedicated, can't stand being hugged.

It's certainly worth looking at.
