What Causes Headaches After A Hysterectomy?
I had a hysterectomy a little over a week ago and am having nagging headaches. Not migraine. Just an almost constant irritating pain. Could it be related to the anesthetic I was give during surgery? I don t know what it was. Is it common to have headaches post hysterectomy?
