I have a scar the same as yours but from planned surgery to reduce he size of a tumour, I do not suffer from head aches, but it took a long time for the sensation of the skin on my head and right side of my face to recover, even now there is part of the skin on my head that I cannot feel. Worst was when I wanted to scratch and itch but could not feel my hand on my head. Fortunatly this has subsided

Hi

I had my SAH just over a year ago, the feeling on scar is still not completely back and the metalwork by my temple is always sore! Luckily I do not get many headaches.

Take care, Linda

Hi, The metalwork can be removed under local.

I had 2 of the 4 plates removed after a year but the back two seem ok to leave .

I begin a Pain management course Jan 4th which includes having tailored analgesia.

I hope some good will come of it and will post updates,

I have recovered pretty well except I have LHS paralysis. Hence I am in a wheelchair.

Fortunately it did not seem to affect my ability to talk, eat, think. I have a very supportive family and friends.
