Meningeal pain: Interventions done to the meninges, 3 layers of membranes around the brain and spine, can sensitize to painful stimuli, like decreased atmospheric pressure (as in flying) allowing slight brain volume increase and stretching of the meninges. Hopefully this will get better and go away with time.

Advise Doctor: Based on your surgery and your anatomical damage, flying may be delayed. Consult with your Surgeon.
