Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

During recovery from any surgery, patients may have headaches from a number of different sources, anesthesia, medications, dehydration, etc.  These usually only last a few days so at 2 weeks it may make sense to have yourself further evaluated to be sure nothing else needs addressing.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

A headache 2 weeks after surgery is not common. You  should see your surgeon or PMD for an evaluation. Good luck.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Still having a headache after two weeks of surgery is not normal. I would suggest meeting with your primary care physician and being evaluated.
