Hi, I have just joined the group. I have Chiari 1 Malformation . I had decompression surgery 6 years ago. I have chronic headaches along with other Chiari related issues. I did have the opportunity to go to Mayo Ciinic 's three week pain management program in Rochester. It was so beneficial. However, there is still the daily challenge of living with pain. The biggest challenge I have had recently is having a medication regime that assists in providing quality of life.

Hello @johnnie, welcome to Connect. Thank you for introducing yourself to the Chronic Pain group members, where we have many active and supportive members.
@johnnie asked a great question about how the Mayo Clinic Pain Clinic's pain management program was helpful. I would also like to add a few discussions you may be interested in checking out:
- Chiari malformation type 1, http://mayocl.in/2emYs3Z
- New Daily Persistent Headache, http://mayocl.in/2dNTLL6 (while chronic headache may differ, great conversation about how to live with and deal with headaches)
@johnnie, I hope these conversations, along with @jimhd's question help you get started on Connect and we look forward to seeing more from you in the near future.

@johnnie In what way was the pain clinic helpful? What did you learn that you didn't already know? Is it all classroom setting?
Jim
