Constant headache for just over 6 years

Looking for some advice, so to give you an insight and understanding...In August 2012, I started experiencing horrendous headaches, went for an optician appointment and was given glasses to help but this never helped so 6 weeks later went back and they did various of tests and told me to go to the eye hospital where I spent the day waiting and had other tests done to be told to go to the main hospital for scans so I did and over that weekend found out I had a golf ball size centural neurocytoma grade 2, I had emergency surgery to remove as much as they can. I can’t remember much of the post surgery time frame just that I was in a lot of pain and have been having this constant headache ever since. I’ve had 2 intricanial pressure monitoring procedures done but although I don’t think the tests were done properly, they came back clear. In March 2017 found out the tumour has been growing and spread, so I went to Jacksonville, FL for Proton Beam Therapy and was given the all clear last summer! I’ve gotten used the the headache now but it’s just so annoying that no one can solve this. I’ve tried many medications but am sensitive to stronger ones. I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia end of last year. Some of the things I’ve been told to try is things like seeing an osteopath or chiropractor. Just wondered if anyone had any other ideas? Thanks for reading.

I havent been able to take any meds - nothing helped. So I saw an osteopath for 10 months every week to relieve the pressure in my head. It's not a quick fix but it certainly worked. Thank goodness. Give it a go nothing to lose.

Thank you, either that or a chiropractor I’ve been told, seeing neurologist next week, I’ll see what he says.

Personally I find chiropractors too harsh. Good luck.
