What Is Causing Headaches?
I had a traumatic brain injury almost four years ago and I had a portion of my skull removed, and then put back in once the swelling went down. I now have four small plates in my head and was wondering if that could be a contributing factor to my headaches.

severe head injuries usually cause some damage of brain tissues. which leads to some neurological problems as well as headache. unfortunately brains cells dont regenerate once damaged they are dead permanently. you have some foreign bodies ( plates in brain) which can also contribute to headache. if headache is occasional n not very severe it can get better with simple analgesic like paracetamol
