  Hi,,,unless u try eating a fresh pineapple I heard it can help.....I really do not think there is nething that helps at least nothing that helped me.

I had 3 surgeries b4 I was DX'd with Chiari and the meds I was on for my surgical pains did nothing for my HA's....so I knew not to try and take something, I would just avoid what my triggers for more pain were....

U can try soaking in a tub, low lighting , soft music to help u relax at times pain is high.

Again look into pineapple and I am not saying that to be smart but there are a number of foods that help with inflammation.,
