Question about TC

[Guest guest]

Hello! I am new to the group - I was referred here by someone on the

Chiari group site because several person told me that my symptoms

sound like TC. I'm hoping that people could tell me their symptoms of

TC.

I am 36 years of age and mother of five year old twins. I was

decompressed in Oct 2005 and have only slight improvements over the

past eight months. In addition to Chiari I have, not a severe case,

cervical spinal stenosis. This may be the cause of my continued neck,

shoulder, and upper back pain and stiffness. My legs though are a real

killer. The front of my thighs and the back of my calves are stiff and

painful. I don't use a cane or other assistance device but walking is

sometimes quite difficult and I have, when in pain, an abnormal gait.

Any further info would be appreciated. Do the symptoms I have in my

legs sound like TC? Can I get that diagnosed with a lumbar MRI?

Thanks,

Jackie
