Shunt Related Headache Location   Message List

Re: [hydrocephalus] Shunt Related Headache Location

I have chronic head pain as well.  I have also had a CT scan which a NS determined that there was no need for surgery to fix the problem, and he referred me to a Neurologist.  The neurologist informed me that my head pain is the result of too much fluid being pumped out by my Programmable shunt.  I am still waiting to hear back from my NS regarding this problem.  I also have chronic left ear pain as well.  Is anyone else dealing with the same problems ?
