Had A Trans-nasal Repair For Rhinorrhea. Have Neck Pain, Headaches, Tinnitus And Eye Twitching. Recovery Period?

I had trans-nasal repair for csf rhinorrhea on November 2nd 2012. I'm still having neck pain, headaches, tinnitus, eye twitching, and headaches. They said my leak was spontaneous but aren't these symptoms of increased intracranial pressure? My neurosurgeon has said that he'd like me to heal completely before checking out what else could be wrong. It's been 6 months. How long does it take to heal completely? Couldn't high pressure have been the cause originally and if left untreated cause another leak?

ENT Specialist 's  Response
I have understood the complaint I would suggest you that there may be infection of the sinuses that is causing the headache and eye twitching and for your concern i will suggest you that if there is high rise of pressure intra cranially there will be too acute symptoms like projectile vomiting, fever and severe headach.
But still I would suggest you to consult the E.N.T Specialist if you don’t get relief as on examination the findings may be different and line of treatment may have to be changed. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more query. i will be pleased to answer.
Yours sincerely
