Hi Jadiee-x. I was just looking thru google to find an answer to my problem and I found your site and post.I have the very same problem!I had my shut surgery done on the 25th of Nov. A VP shunt for IIH.I have no problem from the head or stomach wounds just the pain in my side. I was rushed to hospital Monday by ambulance because they thought I was bleeding internally. I wasnt but they still couldnt tell what or where the pain came from.I would love to talk to you about it all if you have the time.I do hope you are feeling better.Cath278.
