Post op question

Hello all!

I am 5 weeks post op tomorrow. My recovery has been reasonably uneventful. I did have what we think was a small leak about 10-14 days post op, but have done well since then.

Over the past couple of days I have had a sharp pain at the base of my skull on the right side. It hurts at rest, but more when I am looking down and up. Advil and muscle relaxers do not make a difference in the pain. I am thinking it is a healing pain but was wondering if anyone else experienced this??

Thanks!

Chances are it is just your body healing. If you are worried call and talk to anurse at your doctor's office. It's hard to not be paranoid about pains you are feeling. Hang in there:)
