Hi,
Your surgery may be a cause of cluster headache.
medicine you are using is for reducing the intensity of pain attacks. But there are prophylactic meds to reduce the frequency of attacks which can be prescribed by your local doctor.
As condylectomy is done there is no use of worrying about it.
Wish you good health.
