I am have hideous headache after undergo a anterior cervical discectomy plus spinal fusion.?

Has anyone out there had this procedure and had the headache afterwards. I first thought they were migranes, but I took the meds I usually take for migranes and have not gotten any nouns. The pain meds given to me for post-op pain aren;t even cutting it. Other thatn the headache, I really feel pretty good. Any help would be appreciated.
You probably own a spinal headache. Call your doctor's office and they will help you out. It's different than a migraine. That's why those meds aren't helping. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. If it hurts more when you move or try to procure up then it may be cause spinal fluids are moving up to your brain after surgery and you may need a blood patch surrounded by your back to patch up that tiny hole thats causing leekage.If like i said its worse when you procure up then drink a lot of liquids especially green tea,if that doesn't comfort call your dr and you will get that patch.It's not painfull,you have thru adequate.I know i had 2 back surgeries and i'm only 28.Hope adjectives is well,good luck.
