Update from my last post of neurosurgeon appointment

Saw the surgeon this afternoon and he informed me that after looking at ct scan and xrays that were done this past October that he’s telling me as of right now he’s not going to operate on my shunt. He thinks everything is okay like it is. He said most likely it’s calcification that I’m feeling that’s painful on the side of my head and down my neck. So I guess I’ll just have to live with the pain I keep having. Not happy about this but it is what it is.

Thank you for the update... Hang in there and if any more problems go back to the Neuro Surgeon! I'm in the process of finding out about next operation for stenting of brain aneurysm.
