I Went to dr,he doesnt know what it is ,but i did finally get the results of my mri that i did in november,it says the chiari is a 6mm now ,worse on the left, and i have some indentation upon the right aspect of the brainstem from a tortuous right vertebral artery, also t2 hyperintensity is present in the subinsular region on the left measuring 8 x 4 mm.also minimal scoliosis is present.
this mri was in november,took them this long to give me the results.i am gonna try to find a ns in lexington on monday.
