Pain is back again

I had 2 decompression surgeries for my CM1, one in 1999 and one in 2002. I have been doing well until this weekend. The pain that started everything back in 1998 is back again. Is there anybody who is 10 years post surgery who can tell me if this is normal? I don't know if I should head back to the Dr. again to have it checked.

You deff need to see a Dr...whether or not it is your surgeon.Sometimes a second opinion is needed.....are you happy with your surggeon, then see him, if you're not happy with him after you speak with him, by all means see someone else- but be sure they're chiari specialists!!!
There are many that post here that have had many surgeries, some symptoms go away, some come back, and others never leave.....did they check you for a syrinx?
Just a thought......

Good luck
God speed
