Kenneth Reeds office to hopefully give him good news that it helps mask the pain also the aura prior, than they would schedule the permanent surgery about a month later,
Hello
, thank you for sharing your story. We've had a couple of community members mention the Reed Procedure. I thought you might be interested in these two in particular, https://migraine.com/stories/reed-procedure and https://migraine.com/stories/quality-of-life-improved. I do hope things all go well on May 5th. If you're comfortable, please let us know how it goes and how you find it to be. Wishing you a gentle day! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member) I had the Reed permanent procedure done 16 days ago. Since the operation I have had this horrible pain in my forehead at both electrode and wire sights from my brow to temples. With hours of trying to adjust the settings to get some relief, has not helped at all.
They tell me it is surgery site pain and give it six weeks to subside. Then there are people claiming instant relief of pain after coming out of anesthesia.
This pain is as bad or worse as my migraine pain. I can’t do anything but sit in a recliner with ice on my forehead and occipital area. I sleep from exhaustion from lack of sleep.
Is this in anyway a normal recovery at this point?Hi
, it is common to have pain around the surgery site. If you have a fever or a beginning infection, please contact your surgeon immediately. If pain persists, please contact your surgeon. Please keep in touch and let us know how your recovery is coming along, and if you are finding some relief. - Warm (((hugs))), Donna (Team Member)
