Headache 6 days after facelift. Normal?

tally01
I have had a terrible headache ever since my facelift surgery 6 days ago. The pain is across my forehead and on the right temple. The temple I understand because I'd had a facelift 20 years ago and there was quite a bit of scar tissue but the pain across my forehead is constant. My Doctor said he's not sure what's causing it perhaps I should have an MRI or cat scan but I've never been bothered by headaches before. All in all I feel terrible and don't know what to do next.
