Hi ?,

Almost every neuro I have heard of admits that headaches are the numbr

ONE symptom of chiari!

Whew I would be very afraid of this doctor. I don't mean to be rude or

anything.........it just seems to me that he doesn't have a clue!!!! How

many chiari surgeries has this man done?

That may be a good indicatoin of his expertise.

Hugs,

I would see another neurosurgeon. If he doesn't think the headaches are

related, then he is sorely lacking in Chiari information. If this is the

case, I would NOT want him operating on me! Instead of seeking the

neurologist he is sending you to, seek out another surgeon!

Questions about headaches

I saw my neuro on Friday, surgery is scheduled for April 15th, but in the

meantime he is sending me to a neurologist for my headaches because he

doesn't think they are related. I tried to tell him about the cough

headaches and headaches in general. I'm wondering if the neurologist is

going to put me through another battery of tests. Or do you think maybe he

is (neurosurgeon) doing this as a second opinion? Thanks for all the help.

The " cough headache " was the FIRST of Rick's symptoms that our nsg related to

the ACM! He also gets shooting pains through his shoulder and down his arm when

he coughs.
