Anything you take for pain can cause nausea and headache and constipation. That is why I take so little.
If you already have a headache from Tramadol then If it were me, I would lie in a darkened room with ice in a washrag (around your neck and on your head) and soft to none music. I would not want to add more meds unless it was bad enough to take more.
Then I would call my prescribing doctor, who knows you. He should have an oncall number. Or a service to answer to get him. Or go to the emergency room with the prescription bottles of things you take now and tell them about the procedure you had.
I have had these headaches for 20 years and I am so sorry you are stuck with one. I am sensitive to meds as well.

I woke up this morning around 5 with a severe headache that just won't quit. It gets worse when I lay down. I did take a shower and that helped some. Anyhow, Since I just finished the IVSM I don't think I can take ibuprofen and I don't know about Tylenol either. So, I thought I'd come on here and ask for some suggestions and advice.
First of all, have any of you experienced a bad headache after taking Tramadol? And if so, what did you take to help relieve it.
And, can you take ibuprofen after doing your IVSM or would Tylenol be better?
