Had Chiari Malformation Surgery And Having Symptoms Return. Having Pain In Back Of Neck And Shoulders, Headaches. Advise?
I have had chairi malformation surgery and am having symptoms return with some new ones also. I am going to see neurologist in sept. but I was wondering if my symptoms could be anything else. I am having pain in back of neck and shoulders. I also have headaches often and tremors. I do get the pins and needles feeling in my arms and hands also.

Hi and thanks for the query,
It would be certainly necessary to revisit your surgeon for a review. This could actually be early indirect signs of return of symptoms, and an early intervention would be advisable. Control clinical evaluations, CT scans , MRIs and a Myelography if possible, depending on the clinical state might help clarify the current situation. However while waiting, simple analgesics for pain could be helpful. Kind regards.
