Air Bubbles

Has anyone continued to hear/feel air bubbling in the back of their head and neck post decompression surgery? This sound and feeling is driving me crazy along with all of the other complications.

What practice are those doctors with? It will be easier to look them up that way since I dont have their first name or locations. Thank you!

  Many times u will want to look for a neurologist to help with pre and post op care...but sometimes a PCP will be able to help...

We only have a list of NS's in the Health Pages for those looking for a surgeon
