No: You should not be getting headaches from a general anesthetic 8 months earlier. Check with your doc for other causes.

Definitely not: Headaches can have many causes, but not from an 8 month old anesthetic. Start wit your primary care provider to see if you can find a diagnosis.

No: More likely this is muscle spasm which could be related to your neck. If it is not relived by nsaids you should consider talking to your spine surgeon.
