What Causes Persistent Headache And Lumps Over The Eyebrow?

I have had a headache for months now and they say it s suborbital neuralgia. I just had surgery to remove some leads and wires that were not helping my migraines. It was called the Omega Procedure and I had it exported and now on the same side I have the headache I have 2 small lumps over my eyebrow that have come up about 1/2 inch up. They have never been there before, head pain has been worse at time, also my nausea. What could this be?

Hello Dear. You may be having migraine or trigeminal neuralgia. Since you have nausea associated with headache its more likely to be migraine. But since you also have suborbital pain, it can also be trigeminal neuralgia. Since you are already on migraine treatment and also undergone omega procedure, i will suggest you few lifestyle tips.

1. Avoiding trigger factors can reduce the frequency of migraine attacks by up to 50%.
2. A regulated healthy lifestyle is helpful including regular sleep patterns, regular exercise, healthy diet, regular mealtimes and avoidance of excess caffeine and alcohol.
3. Behavioral interventions (relaxation training, biofeedback therapy, stress management and psychotherapy) to manage migraine when stress is a major trigger or when analgesics are being overused
4. Remember and practice "R.E.S.C.U.E." with a migraine headache
starts or is about to start. This can be written down as a prescription !

-Remain calm…Remain Relaxed …Rely on God.
-Escape from known triggers.
-Stay away from stress or stressful situations.
-Carry your migraine medications with you at all times
-Use medications early...
-Eat and sleep on schedule.

tips to avoid episode of migraine
-Go to bed and wake up on the same time.
-Exercise: regular exercising improves the quality of sleep and reduces frequency and severity
of migraine headaches.
-Avoiding prolonged fasting and not skipping meals.
-Limit caffeine intake to two cups/day.
-Avoid bright light, can wear sunglasses to avoid the trigger of sunlight.
-Identify what food causes migraine and avoid it.
-stress-management training.

In trigeminal neuralgia there will be intense throbbing pain near the orbital region. Talk to your doctor if it is the case. In that case you need to be put on medications like carbamazepine.
