Advice, please!

I'm looking for advice or feedback. I've been having headaches often since surgery. I've always been prone to Migraines, but hadn't had one for years. Since surgery, headaches are almost a daily occurrence and I'm getting a Migraine weekly. Just had labs last week and everything was in normal limits. Anyone else have this problem?

Just asking to get info - Were you able to wean off of caffeine prior to surgery?

Yes, I did. I haven't had any caffeine since the middle of April.

Ok. I knew that took me a long time to get over. I miss Advil myself. My last Migraine had me down for two days. My pharmacist suggested magnesium supplements daily as a preventative measure for Migraines since NSAIDs are a no go.

I will ask my primary care physician. I was using ibuprofen in significant amounts prior to surgery, however-though not confirmed- I had a tumor removed from my liver during surgery. I had no idea it was there. Thankfully not cancerous and I was never told a cause, but the surgeon said my consumption of ibuprofen was likely a contributing factor. Scary!
