Head ache post op

[Lisa1996 24]

Hi all! I'm 3 days post op and slowly recovering. I don't have much pain, it's very well controlled with Tylenol, but this headache- it's killing me. I'm doing okay with fluids, and Protein. I'm also so tired I know that's normal.

Mine lasted for a week.I was so upset because I wanted to take excedrine so bad....Tylenol was what I could take.,.In your case are you a caffeine/coffee drinker?If you are you could be experiencing caffeine withdrawal.

It's normal...I think it is trauma after the surgery...It will get better...everyday will get better...

I'm two weeks post op and had the same. Headache finally cleared at about 9 days post op.

I asked the doctor he had no definitive answer other than it could be a side effect of anesthesia and morphine withdrawal....in other words...from the intravenous drug withdrawal from surgery.

Thanks everyone, I think mine was due to dehydration. I was able to get a little more fluids in today and that helped tremendously.
