Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Hi everyone, I've never written to the entire group before, and must say I'm a bit nervous! I have ACM I with a syrinx in my thorasic and cervical regions. I was decompressed on May 17th. Three weeks after surgery I had a lot of drainage on several consecutive nights. After several visits to the dr we were told it was a response to the internal stitches and nothing to worry about (my mother has experienced the same thing with surgeries-not chiari related). I have had no problems with it since then. Sunday and Monday I had slight drainage from the bottom of my incision and today there is a hard bulge at the bottom and little pebble like one's all through the rest. I have had a return of headaches in the past week although not as severe as prior to surgery. My hands and feet have also been painful and swollen (related? ), also when I sneeze the back of my head gets a strange tingly feeling that lasts up to ten minutes and can be disorienting. I called the dr. and am waiting for a response. Has anyone else had a reaction to sutures? Would this still be from that? I'm planning on calling again on monday but would love to hear any thoughts from all of you. I have enjoyed reading and writing you all.
