Hi everyone. I've been away for awhile because I had finally been feeling good & alive again! I even started to do some streching and gentle pilates/yoga exercises. It was the best that I have felt in a verrry long time. But (you knew that was coming!) I've had a setback. I'm not sure if this is Chiari related but it probably is. I was at the store the other night, just standing there (not bending or anything) and I had the strangest thing happen. I felt what felt like an electric shock or jolt that zipped through my body from the inside of my scalp straight down to my feet, followed by a sharp shooting pain in the front of my hip/groin area on my left leg. ouch! I couldn't walk. It was like my leg gave out. That hip pain was awful. So, I stood there for about a minute thinking "what the heck just happened?" I had someone bring me a cart so I could limp out of the store. It sounds funny now but it was bizarre. This was about 4 days ago, and the pain comes & goes. I had to use crutches the day after it happened. Has anybody had a similar thing? I wonder if it is a nerve thing or if I had aggrivated something when I exercised, but that had been a few days before. I have not been to see the dr yet. Needless to say, all exercising has stopped.
