Dent in Incision Site

General
1

I had my Decompression on 10/24/11 This evening My wife noticed that that at the top of the incision site is a pretty big dent maybe 1/2 inch or so- I shave my head daily so its pretty noticeable and its not normally there.

I have definitely had an uptick in symptoms the last few days including some pretty bad headaches

Is this something that has happened to anyone else?

Hi Kenny...

Hope you are feeling better today.

I too, have an indent where the bone was removed...3.5 yrs ago.

Have you called your NS? It may be a good idea to call his office..better to air on the side of caution.

Keep us posted.

Peace,

Lori

I shot an email to my surgeon and he quickly replied (he is really good about this!)

"This is where bone was removed to make space in your posterior fossa"

Thanks Kenny,

I always wondered what that scoop was in the back of my head. Is yours really sensitive to touch? If someone hugs my neck or if I am washing my hair and hit it....ashock goes down my whole body & sometimes drops me to my knees.

Mine isn't painful at all. If i tap it i get a little shock but not painful, I can push into it (not real hard) and it ok and it kind of freaks my wife out which is always fun!!!
