Hello, my name is David and I went through surgery on Jan the 21st to relieve pressure on the cerebellum.....the doctors call it Chairi malformation decompression. I know that the symptoms I had before wasn't going to clear up with this surgery, but I can't tell the new from the old....numbness, dizzy and lightheaded, weird headaches, ext. Can someone who went through this surgery help me before I make a complete idiot by going to the hospital, or calling the doctor for my complaints.
Thanks

Oh god yr scarring me ! I'm having surgery on Sept 4th and I'm freaking out! I can deal with the bad headaches, but the nerve pain is pure HELL! Did it help ur nerve pain? And how are you doing? Does it take a long time to heal after surgery
