My decompression was on August 7, 2012. Over the past several weeks I have been having increasing headaches, but they felt more like sinus headaches. Now over the past week or so, I have been having headaches at the base of my skull and some significant neck pain. At times I am slightly off balance and having memory/word finding issues again. I have also gotten shooting pains up the side of my head. From what I have read, symptoms can come and go, but obviously I get overconcerned and assume the worst whenever I feel anything. Many of these were my preop symptoms, but they are not nearly as bad as they were before surgery. My post op CINE 3 weeks ago was all good. I'm sick of complaining to my family and friends, I know that they don't understand and I do not blame them.
I guess I'm not so sure what to do. I have been watching my nephew this weekend, so it could very well be overuse. I'm exhausted and looking for other opinions. I don't think this is emergency room material at this point. I'm thinking that I am asking my body to do too much even though I feel like I am far out from the surgery.
Any tips/info. would be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone has a happy holiday!
Thanks,
Jenn
