Wow -
so many of those chiari sx on that list are so similar to sx I had back in 2003.
But oddly mine were due to my RSI {repetitive strain injury} / TOS {thoracic outlet syndrome} and have mostly faded or resolved with good treatment & off work.

here's my list from back then-

PAIN & SYMPTOMS

Hands
Sharp cramping pains in back of hands- with use - like writing, holding small objects, picking up small things- pins, tweezers, toothbrush
Clumsiness of fingers
Fingers stiff sometimes
Loss of strength
Tightness in back of hands
Sharp stabbing pain sometimes when reaching around or twisting wrists = pockets, zippers, buttons
Occasional swelling and color changes esp. if arms elevated very long
Cold weather increases discomfort

Wrists
Sharp burning pain in wrist joints after use- handled large engineering documents–9/30/03 - OK now
Bracelet feeling - topside 2”- 3” from wrist, Left > Right Tightness/pulling in that area now when forearm gets tight
Fine sharp pains lengthwise 2” from wrist, underside only- minimal now
R wrist bone sticks up higher than L? Different shape ?

Forearms
Tightness and a deep ache on top side of forearm -elbow to wrist-
Deep ache is gone – tightness comes and goes with use
Mid forearm underside aches- minimal now
Tingling/ tight/pulling/stinging sensations just under skin- with use
Hypersensitivity sometimes on top side
Left worse than Right -usually

Elbows
Spots of tenderness above and below joint after moderate lifting or use
L > R - elbow puffy and slightly numb at the inner crease area – minimal now
L > R - sensitivity to fabrics and light pressures – minimal now
Ulnar nerve symptoms 11/03 – 2/04 –upper body therapy {neck/shoulders} resolved most sx
Point of both elbows get sensitive and have a small sore spot sometimes --NEW -11/04 - mostly gone now 1/05
When arms are extended palm up- wrist planes and elbow planes don’t match ??
When R shoulder is very sore can’t rotate R arm fully to extend it forward –1/12/05

Shoulder- R & sometimes L
Sharp pain and a pulling pain when reaching to the side up/out and to the back -less now but still sometimes after any moderate use
Crunching noises sometimes- minimal now
Stiff, sore and tight some mornings after sleeping on that side

Neck
Tight, strained, sore spots – usually have to stretch daily to keep loose
Crunching noises - minimal now
Sometimes feels like I’m wearing a tight necked shirt
Sometimes feels like my collar bones are getting pulled upward into my throat
At times it felt like I could hardly hold my head up
Whooshing pulse sound was on right side of neck –summer/fall 03, now more on left side - positional / tightness combination? Bruitt?

Upper Back & Upper Chest
Tight, burning and achy spots in upper back when head has been in a forward or downward position for any moderate length of time- better now since off work but starts if I read a book for too long or do gardening
Tight, strained, heavy feeling if arms are forward/elevated very long

[I can feel quite strong "burning" pain/feeling now (skin?? muscles?? - I cant say; mainly in abdominal area and on the back side of my neck)]

this part makes me think about RSD a little bit.
