SEVERE HEad Pressure Postop. PLEASE HELP
Posted , 5 users are following.
Had surgery 9 weeks ago. Craniotomy, duraplasty, c1 laminectomy. Ended up in icu 9 days with pneumonia and csf leak. Did blood patch. Recovery was very difficult with pneumonia. About 5 weeks ago I started getting pressure in occipital region. Pins and needles, head still numb. The only time pressure relieves itself, when I stand up. Feel like my brain is going to pop out, dizziness too. It's horrible. NS did ct scan, he said everything looks great. Nothing wrong. WHAT? Please help....this is worse than before surgery. GP and NS are both saying, you should be fine now. Cured!! Ugh!!

Hi,
I told my doctor there was no improvement too. Like you, the imaging was perfect. I went to the ER so many times I can't count it anymore. I finally had to accept the outcome. No one would do anything. Your situation may be different. I would get a 2nd opinion. Hope you feel better.
