Does anyone have migranes all the time. I have them to food allergies and have had them ever since my treatments. Let me know? I find them miserable.

Hi, I get a lot of head aches, its from pressure when my face swells. I can feel it go up the sides of my face to my temples.Sometimes it gets so bad I can barely lift my head up. My ENT once said the muscles in my face were doing it, but that was soon after surgery so I don't know if that still holds. The only thing I take is Advil or Tylenol. I took myself off codine early after last surgery, taking drugs for very long scares me. I am like you, I wonder if all of us, because of head surgerys, are more likely to get headaches and the kind that really knock you out. gnelson

Hi Thanks for your answer. I really had tongue cancer. Hope you get to feeling better.

It's been almost 6 months since my radical neck disection and almost 2 months since my RAD and I've just started having headaches this week, and was wondering if others had the problem. I'm going to see my primary Dr. today for blood work and his opinion. Just saw surgeon and radiologist last week, before the ear-headaches started, and they were very pleased with their work on me. Neither one mentioned a CT scan or x-ray so I will ask my primary today. This site has been a been hopefully a lifesaver, since this all started a year ago. Thank you Brian and all you wonderful people who contribute to it.

My Primary Dr. took me off the Prevacid as it can cause headaches. I quit taking Zyban also in case it or in combo with the prevacid might be the problem. My main fear is brain cancer so want to get rid of any other agent that could be causing the pain.My RAD Dr. made a comment that the reason he was so agressive with the HDR brachitherapy was because oral cancer is so close to the brain. Has anyone ever heard of oral cancer spreading to the brain? I'm probably paranoid as every ache and pain I get I immediately think cancer.Can anyone relate to that?
