Hello,
I recently had surgery for a malignant mole on my back, that had spread to one of my lymph nodes under my arm. The doctor had to give me radiation shots before surgery, and every since I got out of surgery, I have had really bad headaches. It's been 3 weeks now, and I hurt everyday. What could cause this?
Thanks,
Sandra

Dear Saundra:
This is a difficult question without an easy answer. I wonder if the stress, anxiety and fear of your recent clinical problem haven't fueled a tension-type headache pattern. Sometimes, treating the anxiety will help the headache tremendously. See your physician about this. Good luck.
