Default My Shunt has detachted

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has come across or has had their shunt detached...Basically i've had my shunt in for 25 years, had it extended about 15 years ago and over the past 8 years it has come apart from the the top point(near my ear) and is now about 5cm down my neck....The bottom part has a kink due to this seperation and i have a noticable lumb on my neck. I have been to my doctor and he didnt seem to worried, but also didnt seem to interested...just wondering if this has happend to anyone else and what may of been done, if anything??

Cheers Brad
