I also had daily headaches. However, before my surgery, the surgeon told me there was only a 20-40% chance that my headaches would disappear after the surgery. My pt was also pressing on my optic nerve, but I had vision issues. It has only been 2.5 weeks, but we have hope that the headaches will be gone. I have woken up twice without a headache, and that hasn't happened in two years. Have you talked to a neurosurgeon or just a neurologist? If you haven't seen a surgeon, you should ask for a referal, for a second opinion. Both my surgeon and neurologist said it was the surgeon that was in the best position to determine if removing the pt will be helpful to you. In my case the fact that it was touching the optic nerve was cause for concern. Even if you don't have vision issues now, they will most likely come, and that is the cause for concern. Everyone has the right to a second opinion, so don't be afraid to ask . Rebecca |
