kmorri 1,689 Posted June 29, 2016 Have you talked with your surgeon's office about your headaches? Did you kick the caffeine habit prior to surgery? If not it could be withdrawal. Other than that I don't know what it could be so you should talk with your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chycky 671 Posted June 30, 2016 Ugh yes they were awful! I had to take Tylenol a few times. That diet on top of no caffeine even though I had been limiting coffee a lot was just ugh. Not fun. Ask your team about Tylenol I was surprised at how fast it helped when had a couple of really bad headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
