Migraines anyone?

[curlysue86 20]

Since I left the hospital June 17th, I have had major migraines! Anyone having the same experience? I have never had Migraines like this. It started after my surgery.

Have you called your surgeon? My Migraines actually improved significantly right after surgery and I went from an average of 17 migraines per month to 2.

Did you cold turkey stop sugar or caffeine right before surgery or quit smoking? Something like that could cause it. Also if you are taking pain medications they may cause them as well believe it or not. I have several pain medications like Percocet and methadone that cause me severe migraines. I simply cannot take them.

Call your surgeons office and see what they think. They may have to change your pain medication.

I hope you feel better soon. Migraines suck.

I normally three causes of Migraines being dehydrated. Hormone imbalance or sinus pressure. I have only had minor headaches since surgery. If you had migraines and plain headache is minor

I had one Migraine the day after surgery and they gave me a fioricet and it worked perfectly. I used to take Aleve but all my NSAIDs have been given to my sister so I don't accidentally take something with aspirin in it that could cause problems. I'm a rule follower! However, my Migraines are based on the barometric pressure and I'm 10 days post op with no migraines.

It's horrible, isn't it? If I don't drink enough Water, it contributes to how often I get them. Tylenol just doesn't do much for them.

I agree. They first tried liquid Tylenol in the hospital but sipping medicine is bad enough! Finally they gave me fioricet so I need to visit my pcp and ask him to write a prescription for fioricet for future Migraines

I’ve been having a continuous headache since I’ve been one from surgery, which was on the 23rd and Tylenol is not doing anything neither is the liquid norco. I’ve tried to get as much fluids in but I’m sure I am a little dehydrated, but I am peeing ok.. I really hope this stops soon it’s going to drive me crazy!! I had a revision from lap band to gastric bypass and I just got to say this wasn’t what I was expecting at all it’s way more intense then when I got my lap band put in and removed yikes.. I usually tolerate pain pretty well but this sucks haha.. good luck everyone with your head aches hopefully we can figure something out
