Acitivities

I have chiari Malformation and had occipital decompression surgery over 3 years ago. I was reading  health articles on dos and don'ts activities if you have chiari. Is this article for person who had surgery in the past.

Thanks

Hi IansMom and welcome to the forum! There is a link (yellow icon) for Health Pages at the top right of your page. Then look for the activites page. Also, since you are new to chiari please ask questions! We will all help as much as we can with our experiences and knowledge we have gained over the years. Blessings, Shannon :)

Hi..if u r referring to the list we have in the Health Pages here it is 4 both...prior to surgery and after.

It can be difficult to be so general with limitations bcuz everyone is sooooooo different...so u really have to listen to ur body.Know what u can and can not do...these r basic guidelines.
