Hey there,

I really appreciate your post. I had my shunt revised 11 days ago as it was blocked.
I have had severe stabbing abdominal pain immediately (like a day post op) and has returned. It is severe and intermittemt.
I am hopeful it will disappear as quickly as it came.
They treated me for constipation as that's what they thought it was and sent me home 2 days after the op.

I went to the doctor on Wednesday (2 days ago) for removal of the clips. He palpated my abdomen as I complained about tenderness, but it didnt affect the pain. Positioning is what affects the pain. He also tested me for a UTI which I do not have.

Am kinda glad other people have experieced severe stabbing (like your being knifed in the abdomen) type pain as it makes me feel less sad and isolated.

Am otherwise ok.


Trying to distract myself and get back into life so not overwhelmed.
