can any body tell me if they have had surgery for an arachnoid cyst, and had a peritoneal shunt fitted, i had one fitted 4 weeks ago, and have a few problems with the shunt, including headaches, pain in the neck wich i think is caused by the pipe that goes from my head to my tummy,i also suffer numbness in my right hand, thanks
