Is leg pain related to chiari malformation

Hi all! I just had one question i was diagnosed with chiari malformation when i i was only like six month's. So i went to the hospital last night because i was having really bad leg pains and they checked me out and said there was nothing wrong with me. Basically they were saying its all in my head. But anyways is this leg pain related to chiari malformation?

  Hi...yes it can be....there r many diff but related conditions it can be as well...so do get testing by ur Drs to see what it could be.

Ehlers-Danlos, chiari itself, a syrinx, ne of these or all 3 could be at play.
