John, I have so many symptoms I don't know where to turn! I'm told I have Chiari and they want to do surgery, I can't get them to listen to my symptoms! My nerve damage is HELL! Pain meds don't help! Lyrica did for a while! I don't know what to do, I'm so sad and the pain never ends! I have burning,stabbing,feels like elec.shock in.my hands,numbness,and neck,and headaches! It's on my left side from the waist up and now my right hand! Anymore out there with idea's please God help me???

@resawaller, I am sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I would like to again suggest an earlier response I made - have you discussed your feelings about the surgery with your surgeon? Maybe you can discuss the positives and negatives of possible outcomes with the surgeon to hopefully make you more comfortable having the surgery. Are you able to take a family member with you to the appointment? That way they can help support you and ask questions you would like answered as to options for treatment to help relieve the pain.

Also, have you thought about getting a second opinion? If you would like get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, you can find the contact information for the Minnesota, Arizona and Florida campuses here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
