I have struggled since last year with all the symptoms, to find out I had Chiari. Been hospitalized three times for unbearable pain. In May I finally got a CINE and it says there is obstruction and along with that sub dermal mass. I had neurosurgeon say, it's up to me to go forward with surgery. Had 2 opinions since then and another says I have way too much going on for him to help, herniated disc, spondylitis, stenosis, he said I need to see therapist cause I started crying which I am cause it's taken over my life.
My MRI showe 1 and 4 mm protrusion in Sept 2014, CINE showed 7mm May 2015. With diminished csf flow. Third neuro said he doesn't agree with findings. I understand Drs have different opinions on treatment, but how can a dr not agree with tests results?
My head always feels like my eyes are being stabbed, along with, dizzy, tremors, blurred vision, memory issues, the list goes on.....
Who do I believe? What do I do? I know the obstruction is clearly the thing to look at when deciding treatment. All 3 Drs deal with Chiari.
