Migraines getting worse - 8 months post op

[notmyname 593]

Anyone post-op have their Migraines get progressively worse? Mine were 99% under control before surgery - maybe one every 3-4 months. Since then, they've gotten progressively worse. I've now had some form of Migraine (some moderate, some severe) every day for about 3 weeks. I'm trying to get into my neurologist, but until I can, i just don't know what to do. I can't take triptans, NSAIDs are now out, and tylenol does nothing. I feel like crap and I'm out of ideas.

Me too! I'm 7 months post-op sleeve and hadn't had a Migraine in 2 years but now I've had two in the last couple of weeks and many crushing migraine-like headaches that weren't full-blown Migraines. I thought it was the weather, heat, humidity, and atmospheric pressure

And I must be the opposite, I really haven't had a Migraine flare-up since SURGERY.

I went to PT for my headaches. I had treated by a neurologist for years for “migraines”. I had a suspicion that they were actually tension headaches. Seems I was right because I haven’t had a headaches in weeks. Maybe explore your options

Thanks - my PT thinks some of my back pain is being caused by neck issues and has been working to see if that causes my Migraines, too. The PT has been helping my back (a little, and not fast enough), but my migraines just keep getting worse.
