Kind of specific experience that I’m looking for reassurance on
Hi! My wife is 37, and has a diagnosis of cEDS (classical Ehlers-Danlos surgery). After months of double vision and migraines, it was discovered she had a giant (28mm) right cavernous ICA aneurysm. On Tuesday she had a flow diverted with coils placed via femoral artery and all the CT scans and everything are fine, and she was discharged on Wednesday. We ended up returning to the ER on Thursday because the pain was so unmanageable. Between Tuesday and Friday, she was mostly at an 8 on the pain scale, which for her is a pretty big deal because she has a chronic pain disorder and a high pain tolerance. Since then she’s gone down some but she’s usually hovering around a 6. Most people’s experiences seem to be relatively free of pain but I’d just love some reassurance that maybe she isn’t doomed to be in pain for the rest of all time. What were your experiences like if they were at all similar?
