Re: What made you have the surgery......I don't know how much more I can take...

[Guest guest]

I was over 30 years in undiagnosable pain before I got the diagnosis.

When I got the Chiari diagnosis the doctors wanted me off the meds I

was on and to try others.  At the time of the diagnosis, the detials were

spot on and they were facts not theories, I was pretty much already at

the decision of " when " not " if. "  

 

I went down hill quickly when I got off the meds I was on to try others. I was

falling down more, and the pain reached intractable proportions. 

 

" Symtomps worsening "   sounds like a good enough reason to pursue relief. 

 

I am so glad I had the decrompression, we got the 70% relief we were expecting.

My symptoms have doubled and worsened, and I would just like some feed

back from some of you that have had the surgery, what happen to you,

or what symptoms were you having that caused you to have or need the

surgery and who did it, and what was your outcome?

Thanx in advance
