Today he is scheduled to go back in at 2:00 to reinsert the lumbar drain. I'm concerned because the surgeon isn't saying much other than we'll do this and that but no reason why it keeps leaking. I don't know how much of this my brother can take. The headaches are terrible and he is in so much pain. Any information ANYONE can provide would be greatly appreciated. |

We have thought about it. My boyfriends surgeon didn't properly keep him sedated during recovery so he was AWAKE while he was intebated. he remembers everything then they wouldn't give him pain medication until 3 days AFTER his surgery. i'm not sure which event caused this next part but i do think that them not properly keeping him medicated caused this.. i think it was coming off the anesthesia, not giving him a nicotine patch, or a soda. which i warned them about this also.. that he smokes cigarettes & drinks many sodas a day and they didn't even ask him to stop either before or did they take precautions during or after surgery. anyways he ended up getting angry & punching his doctor bc he couldn't talk and was in pain and didn't know how else to express himself. I also warned them about his anger. Noone listens to the girlfriend.. even though we have been together almost 5 years and are having a baby. anyways. we thought about holding the doctor accountable for all the negligence but ended up not because we just werent sure how it would go. Anyone else had NIGHTMARE experiences with doctors? what did yall do?

Hi
I just had the same surgery 4 Weeks ago and have the same exact symptoms. The only thing different is the pains in my head have shifted from.the back of the head to the top and from t of the skull. The pain in my neck causes for many sleepless nights. has anyone felt a shift in the pain after surgery? Quote:

It's September and I am having the worst headaches I have ever had prior to the surgery. The numbness and to going is gone, but my insomnia has gotten worse and ringing in my left ear.Ice Packs, percoet and Valium and being horizontal all day. I had an MRI today, no results. I am frustrated and seems that no one understands this condition. Does it EVERgo away? |

As hard as it is...you're going to just have to wait for the results. I know how hard it is. I had to wait almost a week for my initial results and it felt like forever. If the pain and what not is getting worse, I'd either call the doc or head for the ER. |

I am new to this site and have just been diagnosed with syrinx from my orthopeic surgeon, I have to see a neuro surgeon next week. I have been suffering for years with severe headaches and other problems with my hands and chest pains, among other things.. I am afraid. I do not know if I have chiari. But let me say before the Orthopeic dr diagnosed me I was in the hospital because of the head aches and vomiting. and that is when they did the mri, But no one of those dr.s told me about this at all. I even seen a neurologist in the hospital and no word of this Syrinx at all... And it was the first time, that I had seen this orthopedic Dr. I was there over 21/2 hours and was wondering why, well now I know it was because he was studying the MRI and the results..and he came in the room and told me I had Syrinx from c1 to c4... I am so axious over this that I cannot sleep.... and I am on pain meds which are helping the headaches a little and neausea meds.. but still symptoms are there.. and not the anxiety of it all it horrible... please does anyone know that if I have this Syrinx from c1 to c4 does this mean that I have the chiari also... Please and Thank you all for listening to my ranting...

Chiari is when brain tissue protrudes into your spinal canal. It occurs when part of your skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on your brain and forcing it downward. Did the doctors tell you if your cerebellar tonsils are protruding and if so by how much? |
