Tightness of the scalp

Sorry for my english.

Hello,

After some time after my hair transplant, I will say 1 month, I had scalp tingling and tightness.
I asked the clinic if these tightnesses were normal because it persisted and I was told that it was normal, that it was due to the nerve which was reforming.
I'm 5 months old and since then, the tugging hasn't stopped with more or less strong variations.
And when it pulls too hard, it knocks me out with excruciating sensations in my heart and stomach pains. Fortunately, this does not happen every day.
I spend most of my time lying down because it eases slightly.

Have you had the same thing too? And how long did it take you for those twinges to go away.

Thank you.

Hi Mercier.
Was it FUE or FUT you had?
Do you have any pictures of your donor area immediately after surgery?
Who was your clinic?
Nerve damage usually heals fairly quickly. It is a concern that you still have it 5 months later and that you feel it is causing heart and stomach pains. Have you started any medications after your transplant?

Hello,
This is the DHI method.
It is in my recipient area that I have this concern.
This is a clinic that was recommended to me in Turkey.
I took antibiotics for a few days.

Do you have a picture showing your recipient area?
Is your scalp inflamed?

So no new meds?
How many grafts was this?
I’ve not come across anyone suffering the conditions you mention after surgery. It could be coincidence.
Have you spoken to your family doctor about this?

No new meds. only gikson bilboa, biotin and vitamins.
Around 4300 graft.
I never had any tightness before the transplant.
My urine is also slightly orange.
I wonder if is not the products that I was injected.
No, I have not spoken to my doctor because I think he will not have an opinion because it comes from the transplant.

You should go see your family doctor because of the issues you are having. It doesn’t matter how they were caused, you have these symptoms and need to find out what’s causing it.
Which clinic did you go to?

I went to the Klineva clinic but I don't question the work they did.
On the internet, it is said that the tugging could last 5.6 months and I readed here that some had even exceeded this time.
At this moment it's better but I feel them sometimes, it comes and goes.

Hopefully, you will be ok. I would still see your family doctor about the pains you're experiencing elsewhere.

It would be great to have an update to see how you’re doing?

Hello, I'm back to give news.

I no longer had heart and stomach pain when I stopped giskson and biotin.

I had also started orthodontic treatment at the same time as the transplant.

I stopped the treatment 4 months ago because it aggravated the situation in my head, it made me dizzy.

Otherwise I still have these tightnesses which vary in intensity.

When it pulls hard it gives me the feeling that I'm going to get dizzy.

The contact at Klineva told me to go see a dermatologist for this.
This one couldn't do anything for me.
I'm going to see a neurologist.

I think should consult your surgeon about your condition...
The surgeon had told me that it could be severe migraines but I don't have a headache but on the surface where are the nerves

I regret having done the transplant. My quality of life was much better before.
