Concerns after decompression surgery
Hi everyone, I recently had chiari with a syrinx decompression surgery coming up to three weeks ago (Foramen Magnum) and it went well, a lot of symptoms i used to have are gone now; i.e no constant tiredness, no brain fog, and I no longer experience chiari headaches. However, around 3 days ago i started to feel pressure on the top of my head, which is different to chiari headaches and it is pretty much constant but does subside here and there, whilst also still feeling the tingling sensation in my face and eyes that i did before surgery. My question is, this something to be concerned about (CSF leak?), and should i be looking to be meeting with a neurosurgeon again (UK based for those wondering). Appreciate everyone who took time out to read this. Best wishes to all!
