headache 6 mos, post surgery 2007

TexasgalMember

Hello, I am looking for any help on a constant headache, very mild but daily headache for 6 mos.
I had my take down j pouch surgery 2007...no big issues to deal with until the last 6 mos.
I stay hydrated as far as I know, Dr. even did bloodwork to check for dehydration.
I have seen ENT, two Neuro, Internist trying to get diagnosis.
Current NEuro now has me on a RX Indomethacin(Nsaid) for 6 mos I have gotten some relief ...
headache from a three to a one on scale of 1-5
still mild headache lingers on & off through out the day...seems too weird to me this headache even mild never completely goes away
The Neruo now wants me to go for a spinal tap...which the risks look overwhelming
Does anyone have any thoughts on lingering headache can it be related to J-pouch
I am so confused...I had colonoscopy DEc 2010 scheduled for one again end of this year
ANy suggestions, help? has anyone had a spinal tap...
