CONSTANT HEADACHE!

Hi girls!!

Had my op on Friday and still feeling like absolute shit! The boob pains gone down a lot and I stopped taking cocodamol yesterday as it was making me feel so sick but I’ve got the worst dull headache behind my eyes that won’t go away – I’m presuming it’s something to do with the drugs – has anyone else had this experience and when did it start to die down?

It sounds like a tension headache, which will be a mixture of everything that’s causing it (drugs, dehydration, lack of sleep, stress, etc). Make sure you take on a lot more fluids than you usually would as your body will be retaining it and making the headache worse. And nap whenever you get chance. I had a few niggly headaches the first few days, but none since the weekend (5dpo) xxx

Christy I have the same thing, not taking pain relief but it’s a pain behind the eyes and sensitivity to light, I didn’t think it was related but now I do! Thanks for the advice Gemma!

Thanks Gemma and Claire – I’m getting really stressed! I came off the cocodamol yesterday morning but still not feeling myself at all, my eyes and head are really foggy and strange. I’m probably dehydrated too because I couldn’t keep anything down yesterday morning because of the nausea so I’ve not got an appetite to even drink. Just going to take Ibruprofen and hope it doesn’t make me sick – it’s reassuring that you both have had headaches though I felt like I was reacting badly to the surgery!

Hi Hun it will be your body recovering for the ansetic the drugs they use for it can play havoc on our body’s Hun keep well hydrated drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fruit and veg. Xxxx

Thanks Stacey! Trying to stay hydrated to flush out the anaesthetic and not sit and think about it too much! xxxx
