Did My Surgeon Possibly Damage a Nerve During My Transplant?

Hello Dr:
I had a HT done about 8 months ago and 1 month after my surgery I started experiencing really really bad headaches. i thought it was something else, so I was tested for pretty much everything and nothing came up. My only one explanation is that the Dr who did my HT damaged a nerve inside of me.

My question to you is, I would like to know what nerves were damaged and if the problem can be fixed?

In general if a nerve was damaged after a normal hair transplant surgery, it would cause numbness and not pain. If in the rare instance a nerve damage causes pain, it can be very point specific (to a certain spot on the back of the scalp where your scar is). I have in the past addressed the certain area with a scar revision (removing that specific point) to address the pain.

I have not seen a standard hair transplant cause headaches months after surgery.
