Having pain around vp shunt locale with neausea 29 years old last thing done to the shunt was it was replaced in 1995
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Many patients report tenderness around shunt tubing due to the calcifications and scarring that develop around old shunts. Infection can also be a cause but this is far less common in shunts that are several years old. That said, its worth having your neurosurgeon check it out.
