What Causes Constant Headache After Knee Surgery?
Ii have been experiencing mild headaches for about two weeks . They come and go periodically during the days and are not intense just bothersome since I have never had headaches.i am 66 years old and generally in good health. I had knee surgery just small incision to repair a meniscus tear three weeks ago and was told to take aspirin for ten days to help prevent clotting which I did . It seems these started around that time period. It could be stress but just not sure since I just retired .

I don't think there might be a relation between the knee incision and the head ache, maybe you should monitor the bllod pressure and see if thise episodes are relatet within labil BP. If you are having a stressful period and not sleeping well or not drinking enough water this may explain the head ache
