Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. I think you got an injection on nerve which is causing you such type of pain. I suggest you to rest and take tab dolo650 mg and watch if your pain decreases if your headache still persists then you need to consult your treating doctor. If the injection was epidural headache will be common if it is injected too deep. Thank you.
