I have been diagnose with Lipoma of the brian and i have severe headaches from this tumor i never had headaches before can this tumor be removed it feel like my head is being sweezed, The only this that help is Ibuprophen. They are going to do a CT scan to compare to MRI. I do not understand how they can say that the Lipoma is not causing my headaches. I was diagnosed with this mask 2 years ago and was treated for sinus problems doc only pulled polops from my head never did treat me for the mask. sent me to a neuro and said i had migrianes, medications for migrines does not work now they say i have lipoma. I believe i had the tumor the entire time and this is where the headeaches are coming from. Please help me understand I have a headeache everyday all day. I do not sleep at night headache never goes away. It is getting worse.
