It wasn't me that had a bone fracture! I have Chiari malformation, and a cyst on my spine. They want to cut my head open and remove a piece of my SKULL to relieve the pressure on my spinal cord. And they don t know what's causing the nerve damage on my left side! They are hoping the surgery will help! I'm scared to death! And my husband of 30 yrs dnt want me to have the surgery! Thanks for the repely

@resawaller I'm sorry to hear about your worry and it is . I'm the one that just found out I have a fracture . Once they release the pressure and remove the cyst your nerve damage should be corrected I would think. I would be scared also but if you have faith and trust in your Dr. that is half the battle. How old are you Since you,ve been married for 30yrs I'm thinking in your 50,s Look at the positive if its gone then you,ll be back to your old self. Good luck with what ever you decide.
@resawaller That does sound very scary! Definitely something that deserves a lot of thought and research.

@resawaller I know people that have had that surgery for chiari. It has helped both of them. Of course, the thought of having this surgery is terrifying. But it truly does help.
