I have a Shunt in my brain, from a T.B.I. 31yrs. ago, my head always hurts. It feels like a throbbing pain, a 5 on the scale of 1-10, most of the time. I've had MRI's and Brain Scans and nothing showed up abnormally. Is this all in my head or is it real?

Answer 1/1 - Submitted 8/15/2010
I had a shunt put in place at age 14, probabaly resulting froma TBI 2-4 years earlier. Across the next 10 years, it would be revised 3 times. I have had chronic headaches all my life; I'm 42 now. I have managed them with non-prescription treaments like ibuprofen, caffiene (coffee) and cold treaments like ice packs. I think it's just a reality of a TBI. If you suffer with depression as a result of your TBI, I would highly recommend treating that too: there is nothing noble about experiencing life miserably.
