Decompression Surgery for Chiari Malformation: Was it Worth It?

I have. It was worth it in some was, but I will definitely say this: avoid being jarred, prepared someone to help you do everything for a couple weeks, and help with household chores for at least 6 weeks. Everything is exhausting for a while, simple things will be hard. I had a few issue that aren't typical. But the migraines are less frequent. When I get them now, it doesn't last as long. 2 weeks straight is the longest now. Used to be 3-6 months and then a spinal tap to relieve it for a few hours to a couple days.... So it was helpful for me, I'm just messed up in other ways
