Has anyone with an LP shunt ever had sudden onset of abdominal pain around the tubing area on the right side? It all started yesterday with some dizziness and then the pain was gradual and I don't believe I'm constipated. I'm wondering if it even has anything to do with shunt? Just curious. I don't have an appendix, gall bladder, and have had a complete hysterectomy so I know it's not those things.
Thx in advance!
Thx in advance!
I have an LP shunt and my tubing goes around the right side, up and over to the left side and I get pain around all of my tubing . It's not all the time or in the same spot usually and it hits all of a sudden. I brought it up to my NS last year and she said that its probably the tubing moving around in there and maybe hitting something and causing some pain. She didn't seem too concerned about it but you know how specialists are :) I hope this was helpful!!
