Once more with feeling....again

For the last two months, I've had consistent pain from both my shunt and around different parts of my brain. I'm not sure what to do in order to deal with the discomfort.  Pain medication doesn't work.   However, I get scared when I feel pain like this.

The pain in different parts of my head from nerves and muscles may be scar tissue healing itself form the injuries I had. I believe this to be the possible explanation.

For the last two months I've had the following:
