New to group deciding on cranial cervical fusion or not

[Guest guest]

My story started when I was a little girl with scoliosis. My pediatric

orthopedic followed me until college and assimilated all my symptoms to my

scoliosis. 2 years ago on a long flight my right hand and foot went numb while

on the plane. After getting off, taking some ibuprofen and moving around the

numbness quit. But it progressively got worse until I went to a ortho doc who

thought I had multiple issued going on, but he ordered an MRI because he didn't

like the way my skull was sitting on my spine. Upon reading the MRI he rushed us

to a neurosurgical and was diagnosed with Chiari and they preformed a

decompression surgery a week later after I lost all function in 2days time.

Fast forward 18 months and my symptoms haven't improved at all so I ended up at

TCI. Dr. B is recommending CCF aNd I wanted to know if anyone else out there

has gone through this after decompression surgery and what arethe out comes.

Ay info would be appreciated.
