Feeling shunt movement: Is it normal?

Can anyone with a shunt (preferably vp shunt) feel it move if they jolt their head?

My last shunt revision was 15 years ago. It was hard because they had to move it to the other side of my head. Because every time I would move my head the shunt would rub a nerve and aggravate it.
