Hi There, I Am A 37 Year Old Female. I
hi there,
I am a 37 year old female. I have had 3 brain surgeries.
1 in 1987 a right lobectomy
1 on April 1 of last year to help clear up what had grown back from the previous surgery
1 on May 5 of last year I got an brain infection in the operating room, pretty close to death, the infection was very severe. Now every time I have a bowel movement I have drainage coming out my nose and it goes down to my lip. They have done MRI'S and can't find a leak. However, during they fixed a csf leak during my second surgery. I have had terrible headaches and am on medications to help control those too. But the past three days, those meds are not working and my nose has been running even when I am not using the bathroom. Blood work was fine. I am still on antibiotic for my infection as well. Nobody can figure out why I am having these headaches or why my nose is draining only during that time. Any ideas?
