Hi, I had surgery for a Chiari Malformation this year. After many problems after surgery it was discovered I had hydrocephalus also. I have a VP Shunt, I see my surgeon next month. But I’ve been having bad abdominal pain where the shunt is. It’s not a poke, it’s more like a ache stabbing feeling. Sometimes it’s hard to breathe in cause it hurts so bad, and walking makes it worse. Anyone deal with this?
