My 16 year old daughter has surgery for Chiari on Dec. 12, 2011 which was about five weeks ago. Recovery has been pretty normal up to this point: a lot of pain and needing a lot of rest. However, a week ago, she became very weak, turned pale, and developed major had tremors. The neurosurgeon said this had nothing to do with the Chiari surgery and for us to see her pediatrician. He did some blood work, and it was all normal. Both doctors told us that they did not know what was going on. A week later, she still has the tremors, sometimes she is unable to hold anything in her hands. She has become more weak, dizzy (especially when she stands or bends over), and has more headaches. I was wondering if this is common after surgery. I am so confused and worried about my daughter. I thought talking to someone who has been through this surgery would help.
