Head-numbness due to shunt

[Lisalaw]

Has anyone else experienced numbness of the head since surgery? Does anyone know if it goes away after a while. been curious because I’ve look on the internet for answers but I’ve not seen anything involving it if anyone could help would be a lot of help thank you.

Usually this is nerve damage that will right itself after a while. I’m not a doctor but I’m just speaking on personal experience

Hi Lisa. Yes I have numb areas and brain zaps! It goes with the territory! It's been almost two years since my shunt was fitted and i'm still getting used to it. It all depends what caused the injury in the first place I suppose.....
