I see..thank you so much for your responses. I have got a lot of advice from another forum about my symptoms and that I should get another opinion on my symptoms from a neurosurgeon. I’ve read up about the Chiari Institute in New York and I’m considering sending my mri’s to them for another opinion if these doctors I’m seeing cannot help me. I have been given the run around from all kinds of different doctors saying that I’m stressed and depressed and those are causing my symptoms. It’s so frustrating because I know my own body and know something is not right! Here is a picture of my lumbar spine, If you would be willing to look at it and help me point out some abnormalities you may see. I will be posting my MRI of my head soon for some input on that as well. Thank you once again. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Could there be a cause for all this? Could any of this be Chiari related? I have to ask about Chiari because I have so many symptoms related to it, but have not yet been diagnosed. I have had no clear diagnosis as to why all these symptoms are happening to me…
Here is my cervical MRI.
