I am hoping someone out there can help me put into words what is going on with my son post new shunt placement.He is 12 years old disabled boy. He has the first shunt placed at birth then redone at 1 and now he just had a new strata medtronic placed 10 days ago. He is not acting himself or even close. He keeps putting his fingers in his ears poking at his eyes and clench his teeth. Bu most alarming is that he is trying to bang his head on any and every hard object he can find! I mean the floor the tub the counter whereever he can even another person's head! Developmentally he is very young and can not talk. Neurosurgery says he just needs to adjust. Okay I would disagree this can not be normal. He won't smile at all and still is not relieved with oxcycodine or ibuprofen (that was there solution instead of figuring out what was wrong with him) any insight would be so appreciated.
thanks!:
