Detailed Answer:
Hi Pjilivolsi, thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. Before giving you any advise, I need to know few details about your complaint

: What was the type of headache? like Migraine or Tension or post-traumatic or secondary headache

: Do you have some relief after taking tablet florinal or Codeine?

: Do you have any hypertension or vision problem? It is to know about other causes of headache.

Answer of all these questions will help me in managing your pain and giving you correct advise.
You are already taking strong painkillers like Codeine and Florinal. If you are not getting any relief, you need other therapy along with painkillers. For various headache, different types of therapies are used. After knowing your type of headache, I will describe you correct therapy.

Hope you will understand my point. Thanks. Take care.
