    I had my op yesterday and every since I’ve had a constant headache. I’ve been taking paracetamol and ibuprofen alternatively every few hours but nothing’s budging it.
    My boyfriend asked a pharmacist what else I could take and they said nothing?!
    Anyone else experience this?

    @beccac123 hi becca I had surgery 4 days ago and for the first 2 days I had a migraine head ache , I kept up with my paracetamol and cold flannel on my head , I had some 4head rub ( buy it in supermarket ) it really helps , plus loads of water and fruit . I took senakot for my bloating by day 3 I was able to go to toilet . X

    Might sound daft but a little bit of tiger balm on my temples always takes the edge off and sometimes relieves my headaches! Hope they die down soon Hun xxx

    Does tiger balm have a menthol tint to it? If it does I reckon it’s like the 4head thing jus cools you down. I’ll give it a go though thanks x
