What Causes Headaches After A Decompression Surgery For Trigeminal Neuralgia?

I have had decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia Jan. 30, 2015 and now I am beginning to have headaches when I rock and lay my head back in my Lazy boy rocker. Also had to have the gamma knife operation in April, 2015. Could you tell me what is starting the headache. I am 84 yrs old. Is this normal. When I lift my head back from my chair, it quits immediately.

Welcome at HCM
I appreciate your health concerns.
It is normal for one to develop headache in this setting. Use acetaminophen to relieve pain and meet your doctor.
