What causes chronic migraine headaches post wisdom teeth extraction?
Patient: i had all four of  my wisdom teeth removed 3 weeks ago, after I stopped taking pain pills I suddenly have migraines for days!! Also My back and thighs hurt so much I can't bend down it  I can only sit in a chair for about 10 mins before my legs beg me to lay down it's getting bad I'm 17 years old. Should I go see a doctor or just wait It out? Doctor: Hi..Thanks for the query..Well, migraine can be due to wisdom teeth extraction, in case if there s any infection in the extraction site or there is any unhealed socket..In that case also the pain will begin at the extraction site and will radiate to head..But the pain in thighs and back is not related to extraction , it needs evaluation and proper treatment can be planned accordingly..So better consult an Emergency room and get examined..For now to relieve pain you can take painkillers and muscle relaxants..Hope this helps..Regards.
