  I am confused, didn't u have post op visits with ur NS?

Most NS will see u at least at 6 weeks, 6 months and then at 1 yr post op.....did this not happen?

Its been 15 months since my surgery ,,,,,,, No one has run any test that have to do with my Chiari . Lot of presure but my neck will be hurting before my head starts hurting . I cant eat with out getting nausated or diharriah . sorry no thats gross . weak feeling numb all over after i eat . My primary is running a bunch of blood work and had me have another MRI . So she is going to try and take care of me if she feels i need surgery again she will have me go back to the NS . The NS that did my surgery has been a flake a couple of months back had some really bad symtomes tried to get in to see him asap and he kept resecduling so i got pissed and gave up . I justdo know what else to do i have seen so many dif doctors and non know what to do or say

I know how you feel.  It is so flustrating to get up every day and not feel good.  My Dr suggested to me yesterday at my visit to go to a pain clinic for pain relief and I don't know if this is a good idea or not.  It's scary.  I hope you find your answer's, but maybe pain shot's might help.  I am still trying to decide
