Gone to neurosurgeon twice and he doesnt no why my shunt is vibrating in my head he is one of the best in the country could surgery b the only option ?

Shunts: can cause all kinds of symptoms including weird sensations to the head and it doesn't necessarily indicate a malfunction. If the problem is very bothersome why not take a 2nd opinion to verify your neurosurgeons assessment?
