Pain Symptoms?!?

[Smurphy23]

Can anyone elaborate on the types of pain secondary to a Chiari I?  I have constant joint/muscular pain every single day.  I am currently on Cymbalta and use prn Percocet.  My niece, a physician, remembered I have Chiari and said this could be the cause.  My body hurts from my jaws to my toes...seriously!  So, has anyone else had these types of symptoms?  Thank you (:

Thank you!  I am so excited to see a REAL doctor!! :-)

I had an MRI in August and just recently learned that I have only a 4 and 5 mm and Some CSF blockage.  I sent my MRI to Dr. oro's office and have my first appt Fri.

  I have been having similar symptoms as you that just started a few weeks ago.  I will be curious to hear my final diagnosis as more and more symptoms keep creeping up and mostly the body pains that you described.

  Yes, it can change in a few months time...so in 5 yrs, it could most deff change.....u will want that MRI as well as a new one to compare them.

I have ever only had the original MRI approximately 5 years ago.  I will be scheduling another soon. Is this something that can change in 5 years? And, from that MRI, no other complications were ever mentioned. Just, come back if you get symptoms.

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

It really depends on what other related conditions u may have....if u have a syrinx, or ICP, or tethered cord, or Ehlers-Danlos.

Have u been tested for related conditions?
