Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi everyone. My wife (36) has had unexplained symptoms for two years -pain in head,neck, and lower back, burning in hips, some convulsions, urinary infections, dizziness and unstable, etc... She has recently been diagnosed with tethered cord syndrome and told needed surgery. We are having a hard time finding neurosurgeons experienced with this and are willing to travel anywhere. Anyone heard good or bad about The Chiari Institute in New York or Hopkins in land? Also, I don't understand the surgery - we were told the doctor cuts the cord in half - is this correct? Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
