Dealing with Cerviogenic Headaches After Cervical Spine Surgery

I have been getting these cerviogenic headaches a few months after I went through PT from a cervical spine surgery with fusions. Has anyone else ever gotten these and what did you do to get rid of them?

It’s from your neck! If you didn’t know that already. I just had laparoscopic surgery down in Florida on my c5-c7 and even before they I was getting terrible headaches. I actually just requested to have physical therapy to help with my posture and strengthening of my neck

Oh I know where they were coming from. And the shoot to my forehead. Almost like a migraine. I'm fused from C3-C7. But in a way I actually can move my neck. But I read that most cerviogenic headaches are caused by the fusions from C2-C3. I don't have a C2..lol. But I know they can replace the fusion with a replacement. But I also have a lump in the right side of my neck. That I did not have before surgery. And the physical therapist thought it was a tight muscle.
