∙ 12y agoI had surgery for a retina detachment almost six weeks ago and still have headaches radiating from that eye. When I have my followups, they tell me it's common. I also checked the internet boards where it doesn't appear to be uncommon. For me, one Advil tablet gets me going in the morning and another one helps me sleep at night. It does get tiresome at times though.
