Hi my name is michael and i am new on here. i have been diagnosed with arnold chiari malformation and have had 2 surgeries. A craniectomy and a cervical lamenectomy. the first was done in june of 2006 and the second in march of 07. within the last couple of months or so i have been having headaches in the back of my head again and also neck pain but i had another MRI done and i was told everything looked normal with the surgeries ive had. also in the last few months ive been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. ive been having chest pains and shortness of breath but was told it was caused by the hypertyroidism. here lately through a friend ive been told that the arnold chiari malformation can cause the chest pains and the shortness of breath. i was wondering if anyone else has been through this and has had the same symptoms and maybe some possibilities on where i should go from here. any information would appreciated.

To Ambellina,
I know this is late, but I see Dr. Lu. After 10 years of pill after pill and doctors telling me it was all in my head, I wrote everything out and went to Dr. Lu. He figured out half my symptoms were from Chiari and the other half from Cervical Spondylosis. He did a cervical neck tie and the decompression surgery on me. I still have problems because some other cervical vertebre have decided to slip and I need another surgery to fix that, but I am so glad I found Dr. Lu and had the surgery. He is a great DR! I would totally recommend going to him, if you haven't already. I live in Jacksonville and went all the way to Orlando for him to treat me. And when I can actually get the time off work, I will do so again. Also, he has the most precise handwriting you will ever see from a Dr. lol Good luck with everything! God bless! |
