post aneurysm headache

Hello,
My name is Buddy S. I am a 46 year old male. In Oct.2001 I had an aneurysm in the right post-com area. My treatment was coiling. I had vasospasm in the following weeks. About a year and a half later, I had to be coiled again. this time with a coated coil. Seems the vasospasm had constricted the aneurysm at the time of the first coiling, then the vessels went back to normal size, hence the need for a second coiling.

I did have a mild stroke in the middle of all this. I still have a numb spot on the back of my left hand. My biggest problem has been an almost constant headache ever since. I have been to three neurologist, and tried several drugs, but still can’t be rid of a constant headache.

The severity on a scale of 1-10 usually at least a 6. The pain is behind my eyes most of the time, left side more intense.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
