Need post op help - another new problem

[Guest guest]

surgery was 10/26/00. 95% of my pressure in head and neck pain are

gone.

I have a new symptom. I'll call them tremors. They last less than

one second but they are like my head shudders and i am shaky or have

a tremble. I am then OK. I notice it happens more when I am making

a movement with my neck and/or a lot while driving.

Please send responses soon as I see my surgeon again on 3/13 and want

to address this with WACMA feed back. Thanks

sounds like you had a great success with surgery!

i would think that the most likely cause of twitching/tremble in the

neck/head/shoulder area is related to the weakness caused by chiari in the

neck/shoulders, complicated by the trauma of the stretching and cutting of

surgery. probably---you are now trying to get " back to life " and are

expecting them(muscles) to do more...and they get tired and rebel and get

shaky. the good news is that if you find a physiatrist doctor & physical

therapist team to help you....you will gain the coordination and strength

back in those areas and the tremors will likely dissipate as you get

stronger.
