My head is killing me. I'm trying to wait until a little later to take my prescription pain meds. I can't tell if the headache is from allergies, has in my neck or what. But it hurts. Any ideas?

As a migraine sufferer, I have to agree. I would go ahead and take something! If you didn't have a strict or any pre op diet then it could be some withdrawal from carbs or caffeine. I only mention this because during my pre op I had a migraine so bad that I almost gave up. Thankfully I didn't, but when mentioned to my surgeon that is what he told me.

Anyways- I hope you get some relief soon!!

Make sure you get your fluids in and by all means, relieve yourself of the pain! Feel better.

Caffiene withdrawal can be horrible if you didn't decaf before surgery. Otherwise, could be allergies or that they put you in some strange position for surgery. Take your pain meds. If it isn't better and you can't identify why, call the dr for input.

Prioitize fluid intake, and I get that you want to get off pain meds, but you just had major surgery. definitely take your meds! & get those fluids in. Hope you feel better soon!

Hope your headaches are gone now. I had bad headaches after my sutgery. I finally took my pain medication after my second day home (one dose), then again the next evening. Did not need it after that. My surgery was 4/6/15.
