Has anyone else on here had brain surgery?!


Question: I was diagnosed with a brain tumor this past April and had a craniotomy to remove it. Recovery has been a breeze except sometimes my scalp itches SO badly on the incision that it drives me crazy! It's been almost 8 months. Does that itch/pain on the scalpel incision EVER go away??

I have not had brain surgery.. but I can tell you that the itch/ pain will get better in time.. although there may still be a loss of sensation/ numbness on the scar itself were the nerves have been damaged.

All the best
