Has the neuro been able to give you a treatment plan or prognosis? Or any additional info other than diagnosis?
Thanks EsthersDoll!

I've been working with a chiro to try to resolve the chiari. I do not want to have the surg. Have a friend who was a neuro nurse for a number of years who said many times the surg ended up being worse than the actual condition. So-it's a 5mm herniation. Saw neuro today. He said basically it was as good as it was going to get. Chiro has had a little luck with adjustments-but it is not going to cure the herniation as he/neuro hoped. Basically working with chiro from this point forward just to help relieve headaches as much as possible.
