Just curious if anyone has had any problems with their follow-up angiograms?
Hi, Jennifer, I am 18 months out from coiling. I had one at six months and second one will be in a couple of weeks. All went smoothly.
Mary
Yes on March 6th I had my follow up angiogram and they found another aneurysm from the angiogram I’ve had really bad head pain. Which I’m being monitored and now they want to another angio on October 10th
Jeanette, I’m sorry to hear that. December is my first follow up angio, but one neurosurgeon says I can do just an MRA and not an angio because he thinks why should he put me at risk doing another one when he can just monitor it w/ an MRA. Majority of doctors say angio though. Just not sure what to decide. 
Good to hear Mary. Good luck with the upcoming angio. Hope all goes well. 
Jennifer thank you
I am getting another angio due to all the head pain I have been having good luck on your follow up and keep us posted
When did your headaches start to become severe? How many days/months out if coiling surgery?
My headaches started when I first had my angio in February of 2014 then I had my 7mm aneurysm coiled in that same month but as time went on my headache started getting worse I get them everyday . Some days are worse then others I just started learning how to cope and proceed with my daily activities with the headaches. There’s days that I can’t even get out of bed still to this day. But life must go on RIGHT
Have you tried going to a different neurosurgeon for answers? Im so sorry you have to deal w that on a daily basis. My heart goes out to you
Thank you so much and yes I have seen different Neurosurgeon and neurologist I’m on a lot of different medications which becomes frustrating but I have to keep forcing myself to stay strong it’s been a bumpy roller coaster since the first day I found out I had a brain aneurysm I keep the faith that one day I will wake up but no pain I sometimes feel like I’m the only one going through this but then I come on the brain aneurysm Foundation website and no that there are people who had it worse and my heart goes out to them this website help me find some answers which is a good thing
I definitely know how the roller coaster feels, and it’s been the hardest thing I have ever beem through in my entire life. I also feel this website helps me. My surrounding family and friends are just tired of hearing me talk about it now. My husband is probably the worst of them all. I felt all alone in this battle, until this site. I get headaches too but not debilitating to where i cannot function. Most of my issues are numbness in my right side and right leg weakness. Nobody has answers and it’s so very frustrating. Id rather a doctor tell me “listen this is a permanent neurological deficit you’re going to have to deal w the rest of youe life,” and ill accept that, but they walk around it. It drives me crazy. How are you feeling today?
I know the feeling of feeling all alone talking about it makes me feel better but no one understands what we go through because they haven’t been through it. That’s why I’m grateful for this site. My husband and my son they listen and try to understand, but I can tell it’s getting old to them already. I just try to stay positive to the best of my ability. Today is not a good day I went to bed with a major head pain and woke up with the same pain. My neurologist gave me a medication named imitrix injection they give some relief I just wish it worked a bit faster and kept the pain away but no I’m stuck in bed today. Thanks for listening
Im sorry you have to deal w that. I couldn’t imagine what you’re going through w those being so bad. Im sure you have researched everything under the sun by now, but any kind of home remedy pain relief for them out there?
