I’m getting ready for surgery, how to I prevent bounce back migraines when using pain pills?
griff
I currently control my migraines with Botox every three months and use of a triptan about 5xs a month. I am having surgery again in about 4wks, bounce back headaches have been an issue for me in the past.

Hi griff,
Thank you for your question. The best thing I can tell you is to discuss this with your doctor. There is a theory that when taking pain relievers for something other than a migraine attack, it won't create rebound headache. But I would strongly encourage you to discuss this with the doctor before your surgery.
Good luck with the surgery!
