Hey, Melissa.
No pleural shunt for me, just VA and then VP, but if the pain is along your shunt tract, it might be a "getting used to" thing, due to the scarring. In any case, it's worth mentioning to the nsg, for peace of mind if nothing else. If it persists, it may be a sign of something that needs fixing, so please don't ignore it!
((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) and good luck, hon'!
