When i wear my Alice band, I do get sharp shooting pains, like a sharp thump to the shunt, near the valve area.
I do get this without wearing one, but it tends to reoccur alot when im wearing glasses or the headband.

I havent queried it with the hospital, as although it was uncomfortable with my last shunt too...i never had the pains, only since this shunt.

Hope youre well
Take care
