You have been through a lot! Glad you’re feeling better.
Hello Mace:
I totally understand about the headaches. I am currently waiting results of my MRI to determine what to do.
Ive had a csf leak for about two months now, and when standing there are headaches unlike Ive experienced.
It feels like something is squeezing your brain in a vice. Laying down helps a lot, but I need to get back to work.
I hope this is the last of your csf issue.
Smash
wow smash! your still leaking? the headaches are the worst part/ the dr thinks it was the mesh he put on that was acting like a one way valve, letting the csf out but not back in. hope they find an answer for you.
i just went for my first walk, about 1/2 mile total...that was plenty! lol the scar is itching too, so that is a good sign, never did itch before
Hey just wondering how you are feeling now, a few weeks out? Please update us! Praying for you & your relief.
hi robbie, im back at work with no pain other than sore muscles ;-]
the one weird thing is when i rub the lower part of the scar the right way i hear the noise from inside my head, like when you touch a microphone! lol sounds weird is the only way to describe it, must be traveling through the hole to the ear
well close to 3 months post op mvd, and no changes, still no pain and the tn/operation/pain are just memories for me. im just starting to see what a toll this took on me the last year though. lol my foreman told me how much more pleasant it is to work with me now! lol wow that made me laugh, but im sure it is true, i must have been a bear when i was having pain, or the threat of pain all day. i was stressed out but did not realize it of course. i hope to start lifting weights next month to get some leg strength back...
