I had the decompression procedure done at the age of 16, my symptoms were headaches/migraines. After the procedure I was able to return back to normal activities I even finished my high school football career & I played semi Pro football also. As of lately I’m having numbness in my hands, feet, arms, also tingling. Also motor function issues with grip, weakness in holding up arms also. At the age of 35 it’s hard to work as a IT support Analyst what should I do I thought it was carpul syndrome
Thank you for the wonderful presentation, doc! I'm a 52 year old male and have had seizures since I was 13 after a head injury. Luckily I don't have them while I'm fully awake, they always strike when I'm in the twilight phase of light sleep. The weird thing is I am fully aware I'm having a seizure and can hear what's going on around me, such as the TV. I hope that one day I'll be a candidate for a surgical procedure if they can determine where my seizures are coming from. Although it's not yet FDA approved for Epilepsy, I would love to hear your thoughts on focused ultrasound for ablation. There's also a company called Neurona Therapeutics that provides stem cells to surgeons who then surgically insert the cells into the seizure site. Apparently the early results have been very promising. Again, thanks for the excellent presentation.
No no no, I HAVE ALL of these symptoms, after years of hospital visits my last one finally brought this chairi malformation to my attention, but Im terrified of surgery I can't even have it till I turn 18 with is in a couple weeks but the symptoms started a couple months ago.. I've ALWAYS had major major headaches "migraines" is what I thought they were, I've gotten burning and ringing in my ears all my life, horrible back pain from scoliosis, I have a hunch back😓 that's sore to the touch no ones ever been able to touch it, but the loss of touch, dropping things, all that just start a couple months ago.. I'm terrified they're gonna give me the surgery something always goes wrong
I’m currently 17 and had the decompression surgery at age 14. It was hard to recover but I do feel better after having it done. It took away some of the symptoms I had that you mentioned in this comment. I know it’s scary, but if it’s already this bad for you, why let it keep getting more difficult without trying anything to stop it? Much love❤ Hope you feel better regardless of having/had the surgery or not.
proposing a technique that may be useful, which is to put two blocking stints before and after the aneurysm and injecte a healing jell inside. Then wait until the artery recover it's original shape. So there will be no pressure on the surrounding sensitive areas.
I had one in 97 I just had dizziness, they didn't operate on me because it was small and I didn't have the best insurance, Lol but by God grace I'm alive today!
Should I take motivation from you... I'm young and they want me not to operate soon! I don't know what will happen until the next moment. It's small now!
A gunshot wound to my left leg behind knee and through partially severing my Perennial Nerve, etc. Diagnosed RSD/CRPS and could feel (screaming pain) my children walk into room from 15 feet away with leg covered. I was stabilized on high dose oxycodine (200+mg/day plus break through) for over 25 years with intermittent periods of self imposed abstinence and NO withdrawal symptoms other than INCREASED PAIN. Three years ago the VA gave me a new primary care Dr who cut my meds by over 60% and almost killed me. It spread and the spasms almost completely shut down my diaphragm. I had two ER visits and hospital stays where the ER NEUROLOGIST increased my meds enough that I could move some but VA would not continue increase so I remained bedridden for moths fighting to get my meds restored. It's been three years and I am still fighting to get my dosage increased to a functional level. I have fired two Primary Care Doctors and Stanford Pain, Dr Tennent and three other Pain management Dr's have written reports to VA recommending increasing my meds. Even the new pain management Dr. is recommending the increase. Maybe I'm just a medical freak, but I know I'm not alone. You haven't listed anything I haven'already tried, so when are you guys going to come clean on the benefits of opioids. 3 years ago I functioned normally with average pain level o 3. Now I am mostly bedridden, needing help for most things of consequence and average pain level of 6 to 7 and often worse. NOTE: I'm too CATHOLIC to be suicidal but I dream of being pain free. 100% Disabled Vietnam Veteran
I was driving my car on my way home and I had wavy vision in my right eye it was strange and very unusual I drove myself to the ER and they found my aneurysms on an MRI along with the vision after I got to the emergency room I became confused and I had trouble articulating what was going on with me. I have since went to Kansas university medical hospital they did another baseline with an MRI and my aneurysm is 00.3 mm I have had this checked twice in two years well the first year they found it the second year they went back in and looked at it and made sure that it had grown which it has not I will need to go back in again next year to my primary and have another MRI
I might’ve just completely zoned out while watching this but I think I was hoping more for a diagnosis, potential future repercussions because of his injury (what’ll happen if he doesn’t stop playing), and maybe just some advice
I had one back in 2014,i went to work and couple hrs in i had this major headache tht wouldnt go away with BC powder or ibuprofen..i finished my shift went home into the bathroom looked in the mirror and next thing ikno i woke up in my bed not knowing how i got there...i felt the pain in my sleep,went to the ER the next day and found out i had it..after 2 wks in inova hospital i had to kinda learn how to walk and eat on my own again.. got out and then my vision went blurry for bout a month or so...
The events are simply not chronologically shown and he touches his mask before he scrubs in. It's a subtle time-travel Easter egg just for doctors as foreshadowing.
a stroke can have facial paralysis symptoms and when you have stroke like symptoms you need to go to the ER right away but a stroke is a blood clot and usually causes your entire right side to be paralyzed and causes confusion and vision problems and dizzyness. bells palsy is more when your nerve gets inflammed and because it runs under/through a bone it gets blocked off and stops working for about a month while it heals
I got diagnosed about 3 years ago I’ve just had my surgery 3 weeks ago, my symptoms didn’t include headaches but major and constant pain in my arm without feeling temperature and numbness aswell fingers cross the surgery stops it getting worse or even make it better
My necks bothered me for 20 yrs have had ear fullness in one ear and seizures for 14 years now. I can’t even get my neck ruled out. It’s all focused on epilepsy and pills…
so you won't prescribe opiates unless the patient wants to kill themselves? I just want more doctors opinions on medicines. Another doctor has said gabapentin makes you fat and stupid.
@@user-wt6qo5xl9uit’s nun bad it’s just very blurry to see out of my left eye but I’m 17 and had surgery when I was too, but now my Head and neck have started hurting recently
I was in my mid 40s and had extreme fatigue and extreme leg weakness and hand tremors. I also had a feeling of my head filling up like a balloon (in hindsight I now know it was my cerebral spinal fluid completely blocking off and pressure building in my head). I had headaches my whole life but because they were not in the back of my head and because my chiari looked borderline I almost didn't get surgery. Thank God I did. My spinal fluid flow on a Cine Mri showed almost completely blockage in the front and back. Surgery was only able to fix the front. It fixed my weakness and tremors and fatigue but now I have more terrible headaches. I still feel like my neurosurgeon saved my life.
Hi, I think my thoughts are being viewed by some people , specially my family. I have problem with addiction and from one day to another, when using, I start hearing the voices of my family and talking about my sexual orientation and stuff like that untill I really get confused. How can I know I have some sort of hardware implanted in my brain or so? I have plenty of reason to be sure of this, because I was 1 year living in Germany and everything was smooth. My addiction was even bigger and I just doing fine. When I came back home, everything started. My stepdad is full of money and they hate drugs and the related social shame of having a son on it. I think they are trying to scare me for me to quite. Also, I have tryed to re record with a camera everytime I use drugs and when I am recording nothing happens, just when I forget to put it or haven't have it at hand.... Can you help me with these please. I know this can seem a little schizophrenic but it is real and I have evidence of it.... Thanks Antonio Pinto

Try fainting into a seizures unconscious and now having epilepsy supposedly without the neck even being taken into consideration. Belleville Dr in Ontario said you can’t have anything wrong with your neck my necks bothered me since 14 seizures started at 21 had hydrocephalus at about 30 hoping it doesn’t build back up but may be now after steroids gave me some good times with myself feeling better and my son truly precious years. Almost went seizure free for 2 years after only 2 day stay I hospital and steroids IV
Yes. According to doctors and scientists, combustible tobacco is the way to go and we already know all there is to know about the harms and benefits of it.
Me and my daughter both have Chiari, and we're both told by different specialists that it's mainly passed from mother to daughter, and if you have even a drop of Romani/Romany DNA (we actually have more than a drop!) then you can be more prone to it too!
I was diagnosed today. I haven't seen my doctors yet. I'm 13. I've had headaches my WHOLE life. I recently acquired trouble swallowing. Anyone, please. Tell me your experiences
I had all of these symptoms on top of issues with my balance. The headaches were the worst so much so where laughing and/or coughing were extremely painful. And my balance was so bad when I was walking, that it looked like I was drunk despite not being a drinker. I was diagnosed 4 years ago. But even before I was officially diagnosed, I started feeling symptoms the year before. I was pregnant at the time and my doctor initially kept trying to tell me it was symptoms of my pregnancy.
