4 days post venous sinus stent
I was diagnosed with chronic migraine in 2018 and IIH in 2024. I have tried every non invasive medical option when my headache specialist sent me for an MRV. They found a narrowed vein and I was referred to nuero vascular surgeon.
the plan was to do the angiogram and if my pressure was high enough we would proceed with the stent the same day.
they ended up intubating me and giving me three stents. I woke up with head pain and pain at the incision site. my vision has been blurry, my pain has been mild compared to my laid before the surgery, and get tired very easily.
my headache specialist has assured me that all of this is normal but I am wondering how long it will last. I have 4 weeks off work and so far I have been on total bed rest.
has anyone else experienced these symptoms?
