My new Neurologist just told me a couple of months ago that I have Chiari Malformation. My old Neurologist didn't tell me ,but she sent the MRI to the new doctor. I have to lift an average of 30 lbs a day at work, which I no longer due. But I was wondering with old doctor not telling me, could this have made it worse. My husband doesn't understand, he keeps telling me I'm a hypochondriac. I feel so alone.
