im sure its nothing but anxiety giving you a head ache.. but gal bladder problems oddly enough can give you a head ache too.. Believe me gal bladder surgery is nothing at all.. I got it done.. I use NO pain killers afterwards and went back to work in 2 days with no problems and not really any pain. If youve been through a bad gal bladder attack the surgery is easy and a lot less painful.. dont worry you will be fine..Prayers and Encouragement !!!!!

Hi SK.,

How are you feeling now? I have heard of this type of pain before, and believe it or not, it is anxiety related. The tension in the upper body can actually make our scalp/top of the head sore.

Try doing some progressive muscle relaxation, as well as deep breathing, or other method you practice to decompress and feel calm. (if you need links for these let me know, I'll post them for you)

I understand how you are feeling about your upcoming surgery. I would be feeling scare as well. Not because I think you have reason to worry...just because I don't like hospitals/sugeries and the like.

However, I agree with Storm Lover! My dad had his gallbladder removed a couple of months ago...and he did GREAT! It is a routine procedure for the doctors, and you will do really well, I am sure.

Keep posting so we can keep you in support at this time.

I am sure a lot of it has to do with anticipatory anxiety regarding your upcomin procedure.

You are going to feel much better I am sure once it is behind you.

Keep talking with us during this tough time...we'll keep you encouraged and as calm as possible.:)

With support!
