I have Gugliemi Detachable Coils in my head.Has anyone else had complications from these,too?

I had brain surgery in 1997 and since the coils were inserted into my aneurysm, I've lived with nothing but excruciating pain daily.The docs said the coils compressed and its surgically impossible to re-operate at this time. I live my life from day to day.I'm trying to live without taking heavy duty pain killers and still be functional.My quality of life sucks at times. I practice meditation and pray everyday for relief. Anyone have any more suggestions for pain relief ?

    Aunt Gnu, wish I can help you.

    It is good that you do meditations and pray, it can be calming. It may not remove the pain, but your focus is on a different level.

    With such a pain scale, any relief would be welcome. Ever tried acupuncture, acupressure? Modify your diet to be as natural as possible? Take up a hobby that would hopefully take your mind away from the constant pain?

    Peace be with you.
