Default Hydrocephalus, Chronic Pain and Lost
Hello Everyone,

I have posted here before. I have chronic headaches due to hydrocephalus. I have a Medtronic programmable VP shunt. It seems no matter where my NS adjustes the pressure it dosen't seem to work. Or the pain relief dosen't seem to last for long. I take Topamax and Nuritin twice daily and elivile on a daily basis.

My neurosugern gave me Percacet for the headaches but that dosen't even seem to be helping and will not give me anything else. For some reason he refuses to send me to a pain clinic.

I am not sure what to do either this type of shunt is not the right one and I need a new programmable one with a wider range of settings like the Codeman shunt or I will definately need better pain management.

I have dental sugery coming up and the percacet do not even help my head.
