chiari malformation surgery 

I wish I could see Dr Edwards. He seems very compassionate while remaining professional. I’m 35 and was diagnosed about 8 months ago. I’m not afraid of surgery at all. I want to enjoy life again without these unbearable headaches.

Excellent explanation, simple and precise. Thank you 💖

I’m 5 months post op and i experienced everything he mentioned but without CSF leak thanks to God

The warning of long term headaches and pain really irks me. I had my procedure done in July of 2015 when I was 16 and was never warned of any physical issues post op. Ended up having to do PT at 23 because I was having severe pain and dizziness again. Thanks doc!

Yesterday I just found out about my brain growing in to my spine.. It's not a big growth, roughly 1.3mm, but the headaches are there, and I've had some high blood pressure as of late. Being physically active has resulted in sharp pains in my head, as well as dizzying, and occasionally my vision blacks out. Thankfully, I'm taking high blood pressure meds, and was given a very strict diet plan (need to lose weight anyways), and will hopefully nit need surgery. Thank you for breaking this down, sir!

My recovery was nothing like the description.

Is the brainstem considered damaged after this procedure, or is the brainstem touched with it being so close to the brain and being your upper spine??

Hall i liked ur explanation and I have the Sem problem
