CM and Chest pain on Mayo Clinic site

[Guest guest]

So many causes for this symptom, so beware...

Here is the Mayo Clinic link for their description of CM's symptoms. This is the

first time I saw them describe the " Chest pain, in a band-like pattern around

the chest " in the Less Often symptoms section on the 2nd page.

I cannot get tiny URLs to work, so search Mayo Clinic for Chiari Malformation

and look on the 2nd page for the symptoms.

It is possible our chest pain is from CM. Just one of the many causes for this

painful symptom. I've lived with it for 5 years, and cannot take certains meds

that cause spasms in this location. (Which only confounds the whole Sx to

doctors. UCLA was willing to do a myelogram only he didn't order it before I

lost my insurance. He wasn't sure it would show anything either.)
