Jo -

glad your ENT is happy with your recovery so far.

I used bacitracin on my incision post op.  My neurotologist recommended it.

Hope your neurosurgeon can shed some light on the jabbing pains.

Please keep us updated.

Yay for a good appointment!  I used neosporin on mine, I never asked anybody, just did it, I hope it works for you.  I hope they can figure out the jabbing pains for you.  Best wishes as you continue to recover.
