I’ve had my shunt for almost a year and the entire time I’ve had pains along the tubing. From my neck/shoulder down to my stomach. The worst is random stabbing stitch like pains in my stomach that make it hard to take a deep breath. They last a few minutes, but happens multiple times a day. A friend who has had a shunt much longer than I have has said this isn’t normal.

I’m waiting to see my neurosurgery NP next week for an adjustment as I’m also having high pressure symptoms and figured I’d ask him then. But is this something I should be more concerned about? It has not gotten any better after healing from surgery.
