He is not a specialist in Chiari, but has done decompression surgery, he is one of the best neurosurgeon in our area. I have been with him since 2009 and trust him. He is not quick to do surgeries, that is what I like about him. For pain control, I am now on 40mg of norco a day, but it does not help. I have an appointment with my pain specialist next Friday, but i am not hopeful he will be able to help. My regular doctor told me i was to complicated for him, lol. So I decided to change doctors. I have tried to research options for pain control, but have not been able to find anything.
Thank you for redponding.

Have you tried Pregablin?. My pain is controlled by taking pregablin 120mgs x daily and sometimes I have to up the dosage if the pain in my back is bad.
