post op headaches?

Hey ladies, was just wondering if anyone else has experienced severe headaches immediately post op? I’m 5 days post op and keep getting headaches that literally knock me out. Its so frustrating as other than this I’m doing really well. I’m not taking the pain relief the hospital prescribed as it was making me feel sick and tbh I don’t really need any, so I’m currently only taking the antibiotics and some paracetmol and ibuprofen. Really wish they would just stop as they’re making me feel down :/ x

I’ve had headaches a lot since ! Just tensions ones tho not as bad as you x x

🙁 r u taking anything for them Kate? Regular paracetmol and ibuprofen isn’t doing anything for mine? My appetite still hasn’t come back either. I expected to put on loads of weight during recovery as I love to eat, especially when I’m bored but I just can’t face anything! I even let my bf eat the entire tub of Ben and Jerrys last night… Bad times lol X

No I aren’t cos they don’t seem to help ! Hahah I love food too! I’m eating normal but I didn’t really feel like much when I was in bed and things.. Just have to eat an extra tub when you fancy it again haha 😉 xxx

I had a horrible headache on about day 5. It was because I was taking the painkillers given by the hospital whilst taking ibuprofen and taking both at the same time (obviously few hours in between) was making me ill aswel as feeling very sick. The nurse told me to stop takin them and only take the co codomal as mixing the two isn’t good! Hope that helps a bit xxx

I just tea your post properly and your not taking the painkillers they have given you so it’s a bit different but if I was you stick to just paracetamol and not ibuprofen as it causes more side effects like headaches xxx
