Hi,
I am a 43 year old female and 10 days ago I had the most severe headache come on within minutes. The headache seemed to crawl up the back of my head and then just throbbed severly. I tried to lay down in a dark place, but that did not help. A co-worker called the ambulance and they took me to the emergency room. I explained that I had a sister and my grandmother that had brain aneurysms and both passed from them. The CT scan did not show anything but minor swelling of my sinus. The Dr. sent me home with Zyrteck and pain meds. I continued to have a headache - not as severe, but pretty bad, so I went to my regular doctor. He insisted that it was muscular. The on going pain in to the back of my head more on the right hand side. At times I get a burning sensation along with the pain. I also had infiltration basal cell cancer removed from the same location about 2 months ago. I don't know if I should just keep taking the muscle relaxer pills that I have or get another opinion. If I had another spot of cancer, could that wrap around a nerve or something to cause this.
Please help ~ I need relief from this pain.
