Are there any major arteries or veins on the back of the head at the donor site? If so, is it possible that the strip removal/healing period can damage or cause a blockage of an artery or something similar? Yes, I'm seriously asking.

I had a transplant, 3500 grafts, the first week of January. Around Feb. 12 a severe headache began around the back and top of my head. It lasted 7 days, 24 hours a day. It then stopped. From March 3 to now, March 10, it has been hitting me again. It's there when I wake, there when I go to bed. Only prescription pain killers take the edge off. It still hasn't gone away. It's a miserable experience. My transplant was by a well reviewed surgeon on this site but I won't name names. Could this be transplant related? Anyone have similar experiences? I'm worried I'll have a headache everyday for the rest of my life. Besides the headache, other healing has appeared fine and smooth.
