From one Chairian to another, if you feel like the issue is concerning, it probably needs to be addressed. Remember you probably lived with this for a long time before diagnosis so have learned to live with a certain amount of discomfort. On a scale of 1-10, your 5 is probably a non-Chiari patient's 10.Call your dr. and insist that they see you and discuss your concerns: keep a journal of symptoms and pain levels until you get in to see dr. Write down all questions and camp out until you get the answers you need. Your dr. works for you.
