I had my MVD 18 months ago. I woke up with a very bad head pain and pressure that moves to my neck and back from the time I woke up after my surgery. Is there anyone with similar pain? is this normal healing from MVD?
Although I’m only 11 months post op, I have had pressure/tightness in the back of my head starting at the nape of my neck. My neuro recommended massage therapy as the pressure could be from muscle tightness (as everything inside heals)
I was only able to go a few times but it made a big difference. Maybe something to look into?
Thanks for the info.
I am seeing a chiropractor and get upper cervical treatment and adjustment every two weeks. I started a month ago so, I don't know if it will work or not.
my head pain and pressure is like attacks when it comes I have to lay down. My chiropractor suggested to get tested for Spinal Fluid Leak? I have nose and eye drainage on the right side.
With your headache are you able to work? I have to go to work to support my family. With headaches is getting more and more difficult.
A CSF leak is a very serous matter. How does your chiropractor suggest you get tested for it. I know the headaches I got from mine resulted in horrific headaches from more than just lying down. Never heard of CSF coming out of the eye, but I am living proof it can come out of the nose.
Sara, if you suspect CSF leak, you should get to ER ASAP.
My pressure pain came on slowly with exertion during recovery, while driving it would worsen, kind of like you describe it would come on like attacks.
It’s the fluid that concerns me in your case.
Please see your doctor with your concerns, let me know how it goes.
As saraiderin has said it’s very serious.
