Post Op Complication: Severe Headaches after back surgery are a common problem. Talk to your Surgeon and have them evaluate your healing, your anaesthesia history and any other risk factors that may be contributing to these headaches. They have the best experience to manage this as they see and treat many post operative complications. Make sure you keep a headache diary so that you can thoroughly describe the Headaches
