Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to tension type headache, probably related to the scar tissues.
Chronic degeneration of the cervical column could also trigger such pain.
Anyway, considering your past medical history, I would recommend trying amitriptyline for the chronic management of your headache.
You should discuss with your doctor on this treatment option.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
