Specializes in Surgery

Did you have spinal: did you have a spinal anesthesia. if you did it might be a spinal headache get in touch with your surgeon or your anesthesiologist . if you did not, it could be a side effect of the general anesthesia. either way talk to your surgeon

I've had a headache almost every day for the past 2-3 weeks. It's in the forehead and temple area and sometimes my neck feels a bit stiff. I've used different painkillers but they're not helping. Is it possible it's just stress or do I need a Dr?
