My dr checked that and said it's good. I don't know About details.
One question when I found that i must surgery my chiari my dr said it is a problem that babies got from their mother

But i want to tell my story I used to play skate when i was 10 at that time i had a bad accident falling down and the back of my head badly hit the ground. After that my parents think that I'm ok but i had some pain in my back sometimes especially when i do activities and while i sneeze i felt pain at the back of my head. Nothing more till when i was 25 that it start show my problem.
Now i am completely ok sometimes like when I'm on my period or when I emotionally have problem i feel that something heavy at the back of my head nothing more. My dr is soooo famous in my country and I'm so happy about it
While it is true Chiari developes while the infant is still inside growing in the womb.....and many times may not be aware they have Chiaria until a fall or someother trauma occurs to trigger symptoms to flare....since we have had it from birth we may not realize or recognize symptoms since we have always had them.....

Surgery does not cure Chiari and may not relieve us of ALL the symptoms we have had....so to have some lingering issues is common

First surgery does not cure you of Chiari it only helps slow progression and may help with some symptoms......it is possible jumping rope may be ok for you.....but we are all different so some of us can not jump rope.....so if you try jumping rope and have no effects then it is ok for you.....if your symptoms increase or are triggered then it is not the right activity for you.

Have  you had a recent MRI...and when did the eye issues start?

Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
May I ask how long since your surgery? If you continue to have eye issues you should go to to a neuro optho.......
As for the jumping jacks it will depend on how long since your surgery and what the neuro optho has to say about your eye.
