I had my surgery in August 2011 and ever since every little thing worries me! I get more headaches here lately than I used to. Minor headaches not like the migraines I got before my AVM was removed. Sometimes it feels like someone is pushing on my skull where my surgery was. After my surgery I had 38 staples and from the time I woke up until the day the were removed I had constant ear ache! A staple must have been in a nerve! Since that day my ear still hurts off and on ALL the time. Nerve damage?? My AVM was in the left occipital lobe. Anyone else have these problems?
Also could it be bc I’m no longer on my seizure meds? Was taking a very high dose of Keppra and haven’t taken it since September 2012
