Suggest Remedy For Pain Post Subarachnoid Surgery
Hello, I had a subarachnoid ruptured anuersym in 2009 and thankfully I am still here. However, recently I have been experiencing intermittent sharp pains in the area where I had my surgeryon the right side of my head. Is this normal and what could be the cause? Is there something I can do to relieve the pain which I would say on a pain level it is probably a 3-4. Thank you.

Hi
It is absolutely normal.
Post operative pain in surgeries sometimes lasts very long,it can be due to the incision, or the pain sensitive areas of the brain.
You can take simple paracetamol tabs for the pain.
If it is too recurrent,increasing in intensity,causing vision problems, nausea,giddiness,it is better to meet your treating doctor or the neurosurgeon. Please get your blood pressure,ear nose throat checked out for any other associated problems
All the best
Take care
