Recently, my sister got surgery on her leg because it was broken severely. Her head doesn't hurt at first, but when her leg hurts, she has to take her painkillers. However, the painkillers cause her HUGE HUGE dizziness, and she feels like a knife is throbbing back and forth to her head. She took tylenol and advil to help the pain, but that doesn't help, and it makes her very tired. Are there any tips to have less pain!?

If you sister had surgery recently and is now having terrible headaches, she may have some other serious problems that she needs to deal with. You don't need to talk with anyone here, you need to get her to an emergency room now and have Xrays and a MRI taken. It could be something quite serious and cause her serious problems or even death.

Go to the doctor. They can give her stronger meds for the pain. There might be something else wrong too.

Tell her to go back to see the doctor. Self diagnosis and self treatment is dangerous, she could have a blood clot in her brain!..;

WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE FROM INTERNET STRANGERS?
Please, call your Dr. or emergency room for advice. She may be alergic to the current pain killer, and perhaps it can be changed to something that will not cause problems, that that needs to be done through a Dr.
