Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. I presume that your headache is due to "trephine syndrome" which occurs post craniotomy. It presents as episodes of
severe headache, mainly at operative site, poor memory, irritability, aggressiveness,
restlessness. If your symptoms are matching, it means it is due to it.
Now coming to treatment, other than what you mentioned we have few few drugs which can control pain.
: Tablet
Amitriptyline or Duloxetine course after proper prescription.
: You can take tablet Gabapentine or Pregabaline after proper prescription.
: When pain is mild, you can take tablet
paracetamol.
: If no relief, you can take combination of Pregabaline and
Nortriptyline or Gabapentine and Nortriptyline after prescription.
Hope it will help you. If any doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care.
