Hi i had radiotherapy in November, i was then in a&e 3 weeks ago with swelling. Just wondering has anyone else has this and how long did it last i am on steroids 4 times a day seem to not be getting any better. I feel constant pressure pains in my right (same side as the avm) and lose feeling in my left.
swelling wont last long. in my case, it only took less than a month.
It depends case-to-case. Take it easy, try not to get stressed, less hours on the computer. I had swelling it eventually led to a seizure, so - be lucky they found it. That was approximately 4 months post gamma. I am back on them a few weeks later now for more partial seizure issues.
My thoughts and prayers are with you! It should not take long for your swelling to go down :)
I had swelling too approx 4 months post GK...was on steroids for 4 weeks, I still may have some swelling and my neuro says that if your headaches or slurred speech (the main symptom of my swelling) affects your routine then let me know and we can put you back on a low dose of steroid. Luckily, i didnt have to go back and its been 5 months now that I have been put off steroids...be patient and we wish you well....I agree with Zilly74 on stress policy, take lots of fluid to avoid side effects of steroids.
Good luck.
