For those who have had gamma knife - did you notice any immediate change after treatment i.e. hearing change, tinnitus change,or anything else?

I will document here my experience after the treatment I will receive.

Tbanis,

I want to welcome you,firstly to the ANA forum. I did have Gamma Knife in June and apart from being tired the next day and having a little headache the following day, mostly I had a sore neck for 3 days. I had debulking surgery that basically made me SSD in my left ear and I had my balance nerve cut in 2004. Good luck tomorrow! You have nothing to worry about! Do you have a CD machine take some relaxing music. You will be in my prayers tonight!

Relax!

S. Demisey - had Gamma Knife procedure and its pretty much how I feel is the things you mentioned about the neck pain and headache.  Other than that I feel pretty good.

TBanis,

It has been over a month, excuse me for not getting back to you! How are you feeling now? Since we all go through it individually, is your recovery process different.......? I have found I have facial twinges this far out which started in midSeptember......It's mostly just annoying......

Praying for you.
