Yes, I did have numbness.I even had what some consider to be a bells palsy in that with numbness on my left side I also had some drooping of my lips and eye on the left...so it was visible. Lucky for me I had it while at my Chiari Drs office and the nurse saw it.
Chiari itself can cause us to suffer anxiety as well as the medical profession that tend to not listen to us....
My symptoms also worsened with stress as well....it is a vicious cycle....
Hi Benzdel and welcome to the Chiari forum.
It is very possible the whip lash or what ever caused the whip lash could have triggered dormant Chiari symptoms to flare....and since Chiari symptoms flare and cycle it is also possible that you have had symptoms b4 but were unaware of them since they tend to come and go.
Without more testing it is not easy to say what is causing your right sided numbness,,,,,but I had weakness and issues and mine were all on my left...but I did have upper body weakness as well.
Did you have a CINE MRI? .....And do you have copies of your MRI and the report?
