      I had a craniotomy Nov 1 and SRS on 3rd brain tumor Nov 10.  In the past three days I am experiencing really bad headaches.  Should I be worried?  

       

      Thanks, David

          Call the Dr.  You could be having problems with inflamation or possible bleeding. I've been told no headaches without calling!   Are you on steroids?
