7th Shunt revision!
Hi Jordan,
I'm new here and I just had my shunt revised for the 7th time! I'm getting those stabbing pains that you spoke of! I get them when I breathe in and out. How long did it take for your shunt to find a "home" and the pain stopped. I've been taking pain meds since the surgery. I get my sutures out on the 11th and I plan on telling my neurosurgeon about the pain .
This is a new placement for me because before that shunt for 34 years of my life was behind my right ear and now it's on the top of my head. I was having too many headaches and shunt site pain with it behind my ear. This time he finally decided to move it. I'm grateful, but I truly hope this stabbing pain goes away soon. This has been the roughest recovery yet. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
