I am a 70 year old female and I have just been diagnosed. I can't find a lot with written on this subject. I just finished with a visit with pt, lumbar tap, and pt. I did not notice any difference in my gait after. I am still waiting for all the test ordered to come back of my spinal fluid. What can I expect if they do not put a shunt in?
