  Hi we have a list of questions for the NS in the Health Pages...it is hard to be prepared as u may think u r ready for what they r going to say, but u may not be...I was expecting to be told about Chiari and went in and was told I should consider tethered cord release surgery.....they did change their mind,,,,,but, what I am saying is it can be difficult to know just what they may tell u.

But do take a look at the list of ?'s in the Health Pages  http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/list?cid=186
