Hi , I'm very new to this site and am not sure exactly how much information to give .
I was operated on by Bernard Williams in April 1985 when I was aged 15 . I'd had headaches for 10 months , loss of feeling in my feet and pain between my shoulder blades . My cerebral tonsils were removed and the bone removed .
Following the surgery his comments were .. Not quite as curved as I'd like to see but pretty good .
I believed , apart from some mild ( compared to what they were ) headaches the operation was a complete success .

My GP has requested another MRI and referred me to neurology ..
I suppose my question is does this even sound like a possible recurrence and whom should I request to see for an opinion . I'm
So far out of the loop involving this condition
Kind regards

My point is that there are many other possibilities for a change in symptoms that do not neccessarily point to a reccurrence, and an MRI should give alot of answers.
I must stress how important it is to see a specialist as jennacyde said, as they will be aware of other possibilities that may be the cause of your symptoms. Best of luck, please keep us updated.
