Even if this is not what is causing the pain and it is infact the tube digging into the abdomen or organs, this will also resolve as the distal end will go into the heart instead of the peritoneum.
perhaps you could suggest this to your neurosurgeon too 
will be happy to chat if you need to know anything. |
I have also had a vp shunt when I was born and at 14 had it revised, now at 30 I have had a build up of Ascited fluid in my peritoneum cavity. We had to go see a fertility clinic where they are not sure if this fluid can damage the fallopian tubes. Has your doctor said anything of why there is a build up of Ascites fluid, as mine has no idea why I got it.
