Headaches post embolization

Bella,

It takes a long time to recover from the embo. Less than a week is very early.

This was me a month later…

You can always see the full date of a post if you click on the date shown… It expands it out, so if my embo was 3 April, this shows 7th May.

It does take some time. You’ve been under general for some time, had a load of foreign stuff injected (contrast material, glue, solvent) and it needs to come out; plus your brain is smarting from the invasion and needs to calm down a lot.

You’re doing good.

If you get any suddenly different symptoms, I’d call the neuro or go to the ER but if everything gets gradually better, you’ll be fine. It’s not a straight line, either, though, so expect some progress and some regress each month.

Best wishes,

Richard
