Re: [hydrocephalus] i want to try to figure out what's wrong with my shunt.


If it was me. I would be talking to my doctor about it.
You probably just bruised it really bad but I would get it checked out just in
case.
Me, I have only had mine for about a year and 8 months. I thought if it messes
up or something they only last for 2 years I thought I read somewhere??
Mine has hurt before but not as bad as yours. The doctors put mine on my right
side and I tend to lay on that side to sleep so for me I think I am also
assuming that this is why mine hurts sometimes.

i've had the same shunt since 1987 so it's probably a delta. it's hurt
before but only when i was a kid. I hit my shunt a couple weeks ago at
work(which i've done before)..and within the last week or so it's
started to bother me usually only at work but last night it was
actually hurting and it's still bothering me this morning. I don't have
the symptons of shunt failure or infection. My head does hurt but only right
next to the shunt. Does anyone have a idea of what's going on or
do you need more information?
