Sounds like a migraine..."throbbing" headaches generally are. Have you been able to schedule an appointment with a Neurologist for sometime in the near future?

This might be a migraine headache. Is it localized to one side of your head, or is the throbbing all over? You should probably see a Neurologist so they can evaluate the proper course of treatment. Typically, migraines don't respond to conventional headache medication, which is why you aren't feeling better after taking Advil or Tylenol. A Neurologist can prescribe migraine medication like Topamax or Propranolol, which will hopefully help you finally get rid of that headache!
