Hi,

I had decompression surgery, partial removal of c1, and a durapatch in 2014. I had a c5/c/6 fusion 2-14-13. My neck wobbles and I can't sit up very much. Like you I suffer with similiar complaints. I went to the hospital so many times I can't count. CT and MRI nothing found.

I have a counselor that comes by once a week to talk. I'm in assisted living and I get assistance with my bath, meals and any thing else I need. I'm still walking but cautiously. I beg you to get mental health assistance. Try not to be hard on yourself. If you are like me, you are always the strong one. I could always fix the problem.

Now, my wonderful husband lives by himself and has to do everything. Anyway, it's great to have this group to discuss your problems with. Please know there is an answer. Take care🙏

Thank you all for your reply I dont want to come across as a 'putting bluntly' soft arse, I've always been such a strong out going person but this chiari malformation has brought me to my knees. The pain can become so unbearable at times & the doc looks at me like I'm having a break down.

I feel a fraud to my partner who always takes the brunt of my pain because im not the person they married anymore 😞 I can hardly get out, or do things like go for a meal & not be in so much pain. Plus being doped up on liquid morphine & table from can send me either way! But helps with the pain. I wish just wish the pain would go away.
