Has anyone else experienced any bad migraines after surgery...my head hurts so bad its scary

I had one the other night.. I wasn't sure what I was allowed to take.. so I just took a dose of the pain killer that the doc gave me from surgery. It either worked, or knocked me out so either way it worked.

I'm still not sure what types of meds I can take for headaches / migraines. Once in a while I get them so bad it makes me vomit. Very rare though. I'm pretty sure sometimes it relates to not enough Water intake, so I try to stay on top of that.

I am a migraine sufferer, but fortunately I haven't had one since surgery. I have prescription meds for them that are part naproxen sodium (NSAID) and my doc said they would be okay because I'm also on Nexium, and I only take them once in a while - maybe every other month. You definitely want to talk to your doc sooner rather than later...don't want to have one hit and be unprepared.
