Could Methylprednisolone or Vicodin cause a severe headache?


Question:
the doctor prescribed these to my mom because she was having a problem with her knee, now she is in her bed with a SEVERE headache and the back of her neck is hurting as well. The doctors office that presribed it is not open for another thirty minutes. any advice?!?

Answers:
It could do, but I am under the impression that your mom has a case of severe tension headache. The reason I say this is because of the neck pain where the neck muscles contract thus causing the pain, See if you can either get her in the shower and run some hot water on her neck to relieve the neck muscles or a hot pad be place on her neck to relieve the symptoms. Nurofen plus is very good for migraines headaches, it contains ibuprofen 200mg & codeine 12.8mg but if your mom is sensitive to aspirin then check with her pharmatist to see whats best for her. I hope she's o.k. soon bless her. Have a good day.
Cold towel to forehead and base of neck and Tylenol. be sure to get in touch with her doctor ASAP and let them know what is happening.
Yes, it can be from the Vicodin. If your mom has the worst headache she has ever felt, if it came on suddenly, or if she has visual changes, weakness, or slurred speech, call 911.
the methylprednisolone could cause headaches, and do check with her dr. the vicodin does not have a side effect of causing headaches.it is a pain killer and is used for headaches. methylprednisolone is used more for arthritis, allergic conditions and other verious things..
