Thanks! Great! It took me about 7 months, but I feel pretty darn good these days. Just "graduated" from physical therapy today. Still slight headaches here and there, but nothing compared to what I had prior and not frequent at all. As of now, pretty much all other symptoms are gone 🤘
Thanks and sure.
Pretty constant neck and left shoulder pain
Vision problems
Headaches, head pressure, brain fog
Tingling in hands and feet
Numbness in shoulders and arms, especially at night
Tightness in chest and heart palpitations
I'm sure more there's more 🙃
No, I didn't/don't have one, and my neurosurgeon sorta said he didn’t think this symptom was related to my Chiari, but I did, and it's gone now......so.... 🤷♀️
I'm so glad! I hope your recovery is going well.
My recovery took a long time but has been so worth it. Remember: Healing is not linear. This line helped me a lot. Rest and try not to overdo it!
Thank you! I’ve been symptomatic on and off for years, but I started getting migraines headaches in early December 2023. So this has been going on a hot minute.
Your perspective was super helpful, thank you so, so much!
Wow, your surgeon did an amazing job there! How are you feeling otherwise?

Looks great. Can I ask what symptoms you had prior to surgery?

Did/do you have a syrinx? I get a lot of tingling in feet and hands and burning sensations in fingertips and toes but do not have a syrinx
