When I went for my physio (3 times a weeks), the minute I was able to sit up, my head would automaticaly start pounding. The OT would bring me an ice pack wrapped with a towel and apply it where it hurt (to most). Within 20 minutes my headache was gone.
Now, everytime I have a headache (from a cold and/or anything else), I continue using the ice pack. It works great for me.
I know you said you do not like meds, but if you were to try something, Tylenol - Sinus (extra strenght) works well when you feel like your head will explode.
I hope you'll be feeling better soon.
Take care,

P.S. I'm a CYW too!!!
