  Hi, I did get a pulling sensation but I do have tethered cord, so that would be y I had it.

  It is possible that u would have pain if by bending u r pinching a nerve or if u have an obstruction that could be the cause.

   I think most with chiari experience this too.

Selma I meant to reply to you and posted in thread.  I thought of another question.  When I bend my neck down forward I have pain down in my back lower spine area.  Did you have that?
