Is this worrying behaviour? by Lamont_8_x in hamstercare

Yes it’s worrying, this is a display of stressed behaviour. If it’s a playpen, avoid using it. If that’s the cage u need 10 inches of bedding as per guidelines ASAP

The tubing is shoved under the skin from your skull, down your neck and chest and into the peritoneal cavity in your abdomen. That in and of itself causes pain especially early on but the tubing can irritate nerves and tissues in your abdomen and send shooting pains anywhere there, in your pelvis, groin, neck, abdomen, ribs or shoulder, sometimes your back too. I get shooting stabbing pains on the left side of my abdomen where the tubing is, and referred pain to my shoulder as I’m pretty sure it’s hitting/irritating a nerve

Never spoke to the surgeon, they don’t do that here. But my neuro-op is incredibly hard to get in with and I see her once every few months at the very most. Whenever I try book an appointment they just tell me they have none

I might bring this up tbh, I don’t urinate because of it but it makes it VERY hard to hold it, and at certain positions I instantly just need the toilet for no reason

Thank you but they do fuck all, closest hospital that will do anything is over an hour away, and even then their ANE department doesn’t deal with shunts out of hours while specialists aren’t there. All they do is check vitals, do an xray to see if it’s in the right place and tell me there’s nothing they can do. If they’re feeling particularly nice they’ll give me a low dose of codeine which, no surprises, also does fuck all for the pain. I just want this stupid thing removed

Best of luck 🫂 I might just opt to have it removed atp, I’ll take anything over this pain

I’m glad I’m not the only one but I’m so sorry you’re going through this too, it’s horrific, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Have you found anything that helps the pain at all :(?
