It sounds like you have considerable headaches.  I think that if it persists, you should go to your primary care doctor to reevaluate.

For neuro type headaches you can consider a few different ideas:

Neuro-feedback (you can look this up more on the internet).  Although it is a non-medicine treatment that appears to work well on these type of headaches).

Botox shots are also a consideration you can speak with a neurologist that specializes in brain injury on this one.

Of course you can also speak with a neuropsychiatrist to see if they can recommend you with some sort of pain medication.

Lastly, there are headache specialist out there that specializes in these types of headaches. You can consider getting a hold of your local Brain Injury Association to see if they have any resources for you.
