Sweating After Aneurysm Clipping. Taken Antibiotics. Pain Near Surgery Area, Swollen And Sore Ears. Advice?

I had surgery for an aneurysm clipping. in early April 2013. I have been sweating profusely since the procedure. Three(3) months after the procedure, I was still bleeding from one spot of the incision at the front near my forehead. I went to the hospital and was given antibiotics to take for one week. After completing the antibiotics I went to see the surgeon and was admitted to the hospital. They told me that I had infections. The area where the leaking and bleeding occurred was stitched and it has healed. I now have no issues with that area/spot. They have done the (3) CT Scans and an MRI since I've had the surgery. While at the hospital I was given antibiotics intravenously and was released after a week from the hospital and given a prescription for antibiotics to be taken orally for ten(10) days. I have been home for two weeks now from the hospital and the pain and swelling of the incision spot near my have returned. I do have pain all over the surgery site. I have also been having severe pain in and around the area where the skull was removed. I cannot even touch my hair or even brush it, It feels as if knives and needles are being pierced into my skull when I touch the area of the operation. I am also sweating profusely since having the surgery. The incision spot near my ear is swollen and very sore and tender - THERE IS NO DISCHARGE. I have a followup appointment in 1 month with the surgeon. Please advise. Thanks,

Hi dear

Welcome to the board of Health care Magic.

Dear friend you had a surgery in head and neck area this area is full of nerves and blood vessels. And even your skull bone was also operated.

Usually some minute nerves are damaged during surgery, which is quite common, leading to all these symptoms.

All the damages areas are inflamed for some weeks which are in course of healing causing lot of hurt/pain/tenderness to the area.

With due coarse of time there will be healing of these disturbed nerves and other tissues and then gradually your symptoms will wash off.

Hope your query is answered.

Thanks
