Headaches daily 3 months after cholecystectomy

Thank you ZeeGee,
3 months seems like a long time for the anesthesia to still be affecting me, but maybe. The nausea isn't as frequent as the headaches, but still fairly regular. I've done a ton of " research" for over a year so I'm pretty good about diet, small meals, low fat, lots of veggies, but fewer cruciferous ones, etc... Honestly, I'm amazed by the outdated advice that most doctors give regarding diet. In my galbladder removal group, its astounding how many doctors say to eat whatever you want! Really? That's not true at all. The previous advice/article about meridians/nerve pathways being blocked might be part of what's going on. Been fantasizing about a chiropractor adjusting my neck so my intuition tells me I probably should get to one. I saw a. Osteopath several years ago, had mri, but should've 8conteast because he couldn't see the insides of the joint in my shoulder. I then went to a PT and, like you, was left on a table with a tens machine and headphones. The guy barely did anything with me so I left.
I'm gonna address the neck and see what happens. I do need to see my doc, but really want a new one because I'm not happy with him. He's made a lot of mistakes and is not very caring. Because we have very high covid numbers here, our health facilities are swamped so it's hard to get in. I waited for over a year to get my galbladder out. Frustrating to be so limited largely due to antivaxers.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help!
Jane

I just read this comment from John in another thread and the vidoe might be helpful to you. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/650173/

I always wonder where they get the foam from that is bigger than a pool noodle 😁

It is hard to get an appointment for anything right now… My husband called to make me an appointment with the podiatrist a couple of weeks ago… Dec 02 is soon as I can get in. My husband needs an MRI.. 3 weeks wait for that. I have my regular checkup appointments set up. .. and on regular schedule so far.. but may change. My doctors' office has a third of the staff out with covid or family member with covid or in quarantine. My family doctor and gynecologist are in same practice. .. I get blood work done there, mammogram, x-rays, and a few other test when needed.

So many things can cause a headache and I hope your cause is soon discovered and the headaches eliminated.

My mom was told after her gallbladder surgery to avoid chocolate… that was it. She had diarrhea and I told her to cut back on the greasy foods and sweets and it will get better. It did. I had the same problem and I found that a probiotic … Align … kept it mostly at bay along with watching my diet. I had to stop eating raw fruits and veggies.. other than ripe bananas. Canned fruits are okay, but sometimes I cook some fruit like apples. Weird.. but I seem to digest dried fruit like raisins and craisins okay.
