A member asked:
In addition to low back pain i have also been having stomach pain (vp shunt ends).. id rather be somewhat sure before actually going to the doctor...

See your doctor: Abdominal pain in the area of a VP shunt should be evaluated with an in-person hands on exam with a practitioner who is familiar with VP shunts and their potential complications. Web based medical platforms cannot replace this, and evaluation should not be delayed.
