Post surgery headaches

[jorlex137]

Hi Guys!

It's been 4 weeks since surgery for the malformation.  Did pretty good and was seeing improvements.  
However this past week I've been having pressure headaches.  A pulsing sort of headaches that radiates to my forehead and even face.  I get a shooting odd pain when I turn my neck.  Also lower head to past my neck burns at times.  

I've tried to eliminate other things, caffeine headache..no  I also took sudafed thinking maybe a sinus headache...nope!  

So now what?  I see surgeon again on Jan 7th, but I worry he may just tell me, surgery has been done so you should be fine.  

Anyone else have this sort of headache after surgery?

so sorry for your loss!

cmoeller- my husband had those issues after surgery and had a csf leak, and also high pressure in his head and eneded up getting a shunt put in to relieve the pressure. Hope you get some relief, but I would let your dr know. He also had swollen glands

Thank you for that.  It was really nice to read.  This has been really hard for our family becasue he was the rock of our family.  He was our life and always tried to do things as much as we could with him.

I do not know about the swollen glands, but i do feel like my face swells up a lot. There are times that i think that my face is bigger than my body and i can not feel it.  I have passed out because of my headaches and they just tell me to calm down and relax and that i'm doing to much.  So i stoped working and started to stay home.  You would think that my house was clean due to me staying home but it is not so do not worry about that. I do things how i feel like doing them.  Some time the headaches feel like you have a sinus infection or headache and they take over your whole head.  It is horrible.   I do have problems with seeing things.  My eye sight is blurry and can not see as good.  There are times were the sentence is in the wonge place.

HI

I am little worried, I am 3 weeks out of surgery and have pretty much had the headaches you describe before and after. What really strikes me as the same is it involves pain in my face, temples, scalp and under my eyes. My eyes also start feeling like they are burning. Lately, I have noticed that I am getting more of that headrush feeling and almost wanting to pass out. I've also developed a section of swollen gland all at the base of my neck. Did you have those too?

Togetherness

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you used to.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me.
Pray for me.
Let my name be the household name it always was.
Let it be spoken without the shadow of a ghost in it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
What is death but a negligible accident.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?
All is well, nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
