I had gamma knife surgery last July and reciently been exeriencing really extreme headeaches. I get throbbing sharp pain in my cranotomy scar only. It flashes on for about 10 seconds, on and off, and then stops. My dr, thinks it’s migraines and is trying to put me on medication everyday, I hate taking pills and want to know if it is a common thing.
Hi Monica. I'd say it was very common. I did a search for you on migraines and headaches...

I dont like taking pills to be i love to have the pills not that i can’t get now to help me. so if you can get the pills to help, use them. just make sure that the pills is for the AVM and not just for pain. cuause you have seizures that give you headache.
