Week long headache

Has anyone experienced a headache that lasted over a week.
I had a nasty UTI two weeks ago which took 2 x three day courses of antibiotics to clear, I think i had a headache during that infection but the nausea and other symptoms were more severe so i can't recall for certain about the headache.

I Have been off the antibiotics a week and have had a constant headache since.

Sometimes it is behind my eyes sometimes feels like pressure where your brain feels squeezed and sometimes like I'm being stabbed in the skull.
Pain killers aren't taking it away, I have tested twice for covid which have been negative.

I am wondered whether to phone 111 for advice or see the GP next week if it hasn't gone. I just don't want to be a nuisance over a headache.

I have had a lot on lately but no worse than usual. And it's been the time of the month. But doesn't usually cause headaches.

Just an added thought. I can function with it although it's constantly there it isn't the worst I've ever experienced.
I've also noticed a bit of neck ache like it's running down my neck sometimes.
I also have mild osteoarthritis in my lower spine in case that is relevant as I had severe back ache earlier this week.

How peculiar, I've had the same symptoms to you, including the UTI. Only the second one I've had in my life, and wow, it was awful. Like barbed wire pulled through the pee pipes. I had a diarrhea bug before the UTI, don't suppose you did?

Maybe the antibiotics for the UTI might have caused our headaches? I've been half wondering if the solar storm might be responsible.

How odd. I've not had diarrhea with it though!
