Hello Beth61! I had a stent placed for a small brain aneurysm in Dec. and this resulted with head/neck pain. It decreased but I still feel pressure in my head and experiencing neck pain. Returned to to work after 2 weeks but my blood pressure spiked and have been on medical leave after several attempts to return to work. I have learned that it takes a very long time to heal. So get more rest if your work allows it. My blood pressure has decreased at home with relaxation and no stress. Also anxiety classes helped. Another doctor thinks the pressure is a vascular issue and suggested that I get a second opinion from neurosurgery. Praying for you and wish you the best.
