I had decompression surgery October 28, 2008 and YES arthritis can set in at your incession. My NL said I have a significant amount of arthritis. I have just recently started having problems again (pain in my neck, shoulders, back, etc) and I have recently gotten an MRI and waiting to go see my my NL for the results. But he DID tell me when I went that the arthritis could be causing alot of my problems. So- I am curious to see what the MRI said and see if there is any help for my new pain. Good luck.
Hi and welcome to the chiari forum.
Well, I do know we can have scar tissue form...and we can have related conditions like RA, Ehlers-Danlos,sleep apnea,and several others.
I doubt that the nausea and bad taste is arthritis ....have u ever been dx'd with sinus issues or acid reflux?
And as for ur neck and shoulder pains I would ask what u have been active doing?We have to be careful post op as to what we do ....how we lift , how much etc....as chiari is not cured or fixed.....we can trigger it and the symptoms return.
May I ask when ur last MRI was to monitor ur chiari?
