Headache Preop

Vicki147

Entry posted by Vicki147 ·

I have had a pain in my shoulders, neck and head for the past two days. I am 3 days until surgery and really concerned about the pain. I have taken everything I can take. I do not know if it is because I have been on a liquid diet for 11 days, or if it is stress related. I do not really feel anxious about the surgery, rather I am very excited. Has anyone else had headaches before the surgery?

My headache didn't start until AFTER the surgery. I think the anesthetist had a cocktail mixture that I didn't handle well. Mine lasted 3 whole days. Could it be caffeine withdrawal? You need to mention it to your surgeon prior to surgery though, just so he/she is aware.

I had caffeine withdrawal for the first three days, but this is day 11 of the liquid diet preop. I am hoping that it will be gone before Sunday when I do the all clear diet. How was your surgery experience?

I had a migraine every. friggin. day. of pre-op. I had to pay out of pocket for my migraine meds because insurance will only cover 9 pills a month.

I finally got rid of the headache. I drank a lot of fluids and took a Xanax for anxiety, that seemed to relax my neck, & shoulders, and gave me some relief.
