Guest guest Posted May 20, 1999 Report Share Posted May 20, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: /group/chiari - Simplifying group communications Hi, Just got back from my 8 min. neurosurgeon visit. He had me walk, hold my arms out with my eyes closed, had me track his finger with my eyes, then cough to see if it hurt the back of my head. Since the cough didn't hurt, he said that the Chiari was there but not causing me troubles. I would like him to tell my major headaches that...maybe they will get discouraged and go away. He reviewed my MRI's from last May and showed me how the spinal fluid seems to have good flow. Then he was done. He didn't hardly look at all the paperwork they had me fill out about my symptoms. I don't know where to turn now...I still have a headache, my arm is tingling and weak. It's kind of like " good news, bad news " . Good news, the Chiari isn't causing troubles (?)so no surgery, and bad news, now how do I get rid of the headaches. Frustrated, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
