thankyou for reply i have had changes but its hard to know whether this is due to chiari, archnoiditis, bowels are more urgent, and have had accidents, bladder issues have now devolped, seeing a urologist, next week, balance is becoming worse, burning/numbness in soles of feet, (this is very recent ...

hi dr flanagan, as you know i have chiari type 2, and have had decompression surgery, symptoms so far seem to be reacuring, also a arachnoid cyst removal, in T7 - T10 which has now lead to scar tissue which has been confirmed as arachnoidits adheshive scar tissue, which most had been removed in june...

whats the likely hood of a tethered cord to repair itself once an issue as been removed off the cord? sorry that might no make sence. compression of the spinal cord is caused a questionable tethered cord, once the compression has been relieved, will the tethered cord repair, or will this always be a...

thankyou i will try this,
would you also know anyway of helping any nueropathic pain?

when are you hoping to have your book finished and released?

that will be interesting to read the book when it is released, when will it be realesed? my headaches dont really cause my grief, its the back pain caused by the intradural lesion that causes my issues, and that why i was put on morphine but due to that type of pain it doesnt help, im also on dopres...

thankyou, i didnt know that fluid was produced in the brain then travelled down the spine then back up, thats very interesting, i never spoke with the nuero surgeon about the pressure headaches since having decompression headaches, it will make no difference as he is happy has fluid has returned to ...

in my knowledge isnt the fluid from the spine go the brain? so if its slow wouldnt it be slowed to the brain? i dont have a cyst in the spine in other words its a tumor, they ruled out cyst, they are unsure what type of tumor they wont know until they crack me open, thats the hard part, we dont know...

thankyou for the reply, since my spinal fluid is now slowing wouldnt that now put pressure on the fluid going to the brain, so to speak, which could cause the pressure head aches? the newest CINE mri showed fluid is flowing well in the decompression area, before i had surgery i full compression of f...

hi dr upright im the friend nigel was speaking of, I have a intradural lesion compressing the cord at T6. my last MRI has showed : the thoracic cord in this region does lie very anterior in the canal with a limited CSF space anterior to it at the T5 level, this may indicate tethering of the cord, al...

thankyou dr upright, goodluck with your research i hope it goes well for you, and people that it can help, and maybe the rest of the medical world, will take a page out of you book, i will leave this chat, due to disagreements, i wish not to offend anyone on here, :-) i will say, being a chiroprator...

im sorry dr upright, but i must be thick as well, but as far as i can tell you havent really answered my questons, apart from having done your specs in 1989, Did you also have refreshers in training? i agree, with technology getting better, there is more people with chiari malformations, but not eve...

thats the thing that gets me, chiari malformations normally have overcrowding, how can adjustments help that, just going by how my chiari ended up, i had no fluid in the forenum magnum, which required decompression surgery, no ifs no buts, its classified as emergency, how can adjustments make room f...

we sit on here and listen to chiroprators, rave on, how wonderful it is, the docs on here talk like they are gods, but what about the damage that can be done, your body naturally clicks itself, the more i think about it the more i know i got worse after my adjustments, JUST FOR THE ONES THAT DONT KN...

in most cases chiari malformation decompression surgery is to remove part of the bone on the back of the skull, and replaced with another material, this allows more room so the brain and fluids have more room, and dont cause overcrowding, its very rare for the neck to be changed, this surgery is a d...

costumenastional i had ajustments done afew yrs ago, it helped with my leg pain, and hips, but im having more problems now with my neck, (in nz we have xrays done instead or mri to see if anythings wrong, the problem with that, if you other issues going on it wont show,) i had a chiroprator tell me ...
