I have had headaches post-op, but they are nowhere near as common as before surgery. Are you sure they are migraines, or just bad headaches?
I have some arm pains/problems, but it is only in my right arm. It may or may not be related to the Chiari/Syringomyelia (I was in a car wreck about 6 years ago and did some damage to my right shoulder and hand). Does she have issues with holding things or numbness in her left hand?
Hey! I have had the surgery- craniotomy with duraplasty! But- I am just 3 weeks post op. So- I don't know that I can be much help about symptoms that reoccur because I have been lucky and I haven't had any symptoms reoccur yet. How soon did the symptoms start after surgery? I HAVE read somewhere- not sure where- sorry, but I have heard of people continuing to have migraines after the surgery. So- the tests come back negative what are the doctors saying about the pain? Good luck and I hope you find answers to help your daughter.
Sorry I can be of help, but there r a few here that have had surgery ......Shane99....Lovage....and Lovemygirls2....I am sure they will add to this post.

Godspeed
