headaches

[shaneab]

i had an av malformation removed from right frontal lobe 8 years ago and i still get 3 or more headaches a week. will they ever go away?

Strong smells or even a sneeze can hurt for hours will that go away?

AV stands for arteriovenous malformation. I no longer take any drug. The doctors are more concerned about giving me seizure meds when i ve been without seizures for long time. The seizures were caused by av malformation now removed.Headaches are now caused by scar tissue on brain.The growth was according to surgeon almost twice the size of golf ball.The couple of pain meds they gave me didnt work or caused side effects almost as bad as headaches. Will the headaches ever go away or do i just live with them.

whats av?. If you had an operation on the brain, its delicate and needs delicate attention. You need pain under control. What pain medications are you taking?
