Chiaris are showing up more and more as the result of better imaging,, so we see Chiari on the report and we jump up with that aha moment,, here is what is causing our symptoms,, so off we go from one neurosurgeon to another,, who finnaly does the CINE,, and says ya,, this may be some of your problem,, when all along it was there not causing any problems,, yet we jump under the knife and end up worse,, the surgery is brutal,, the risk of infection is great and there messing around with your brain,, to them its no big deal,, they do it everyday,, and to them chiari surgery is nothing,, they like boring around for tumors and such,, and were left with scars,, infections,, and a host of more problems,, my suggestion again,, if you are not crawling around on the floor screaming in pain, dont search out someone that will do the surgery,, you just might get more then you wanted to get rid of,,,
