Haven't been on here for a while but was wondering if this is common after surgery. I had decompression in September of 2013. Recently I've had these constant headaches that feel like someone is pushing needles into my head. Also I've been having pain in my arms and legs and spasms throughout my body. Could this be related to Chiari? I'm getting another MRI in May but so far my surgeon think I'm just making up my symptoms or over exaggerating.

Many related conditions can worsen after surgery.....but most changes worsen in the first 6 month ...but some do come on more slowly.....
Do look into a Chiari specialist to evaluate what is going on if your current Dr is not able to give you answers.
