Friken Headachesss

So I am a little over a month PP. The doctor told me I may have headaches as a side effect of the epidural for about 2 weeks. Well I still have them and they are bad! I have to take 2 extra strength excedrine every 2 hours to get any relief.

Did anyone else has headaches thing long after having an epidural?

Should I call my doctor?

I had headaches from the Epi until about 2 1/2 months PP.
You should call the doctor to get something stronger to help, taking all that excedrin is NOT good for you. And it could be causing rebound headaches instead.

Spinal headaches normally last about a week or so if that were the case, I would say it's more of a PP stress related head ache. I gave birth to my LO almost three months ago and literally had a headache every single day until I got some fiorcet and my husband let me sleep.
Also, how long have you been taking the excedring for? Often times when taking a medicine like that or tylenol so often it can cause rebound headaches and it's the actual medicine causing the head aches.

I would say you're having rebound headaches like crazy. As much is its going to suck, wean yourself of off the excedrin and go make an APPT with your provider.
