The medicine is called Flurbiprofen. One patient reports that the drug was originally an arthritis medication. However, strong patient recommendations that this has worked for them would seem a good reason to at least discuss this with your doctors. The following website has medical information on the drug. Heat A warm compress or heating pad is helpful to some patients.
Ice Placing a cold or cool compress on the back of the head or neck is helpful to some patients.
Keep a log or diary Some patients keep a log or diary of their AN experience and treatment. If in your log you keep track of health issues and concerns like headaches, you may be able to establish whether, over a period of months or years after treatment, your headaches are decreasing, staying the same, or getting worse in terms of frequency, duration, or intensity. Of course the hope is they will become less with time. If your log or diary shows this, this may provide you with strong moral support that things are indeed getting better. Sometimes it is not just pain that wears us down, but the fear that things will never improve.
