Are There People Out There Suffering From A Chiari Malformation?
I recently ran across a post about from a year ago where someone posted they had been diagnosed with it.. are there others out there that gave had experiences with it or what their outcome was after surgery.. would also like to know if anyone has suffered from complications. Unfortunately I have and my surgery was over 15 years ago.. I look forward to any responses team members might have.. thanks in advance!!
Forgive me but I don't think I ever responded to you... The way my surgery was performed isn't done like that anymore. They removed extensive bone from my top 3 vertebrae in my neck which today they only remove bone from the top vertebrae in your neck. That would explain my neck pain and instability I now have.. I refuse to go back to the same hospital that performed it because I feel that they only compounded my original problem. My insurance won't pay for me to seek treatment out of state so I'm stuck
I am not familiar with this surgery. You said you had it 15 years ago, are there advancements or studies you are aware of since you had surgery?
I was told it's only diagnosed through an MRI. When they first found mine my brain was herniated 5 mm.. when they did my decompression surgery my brain was herniated a little over an inch.. a horrible experience all around
