I have a MRI study showing the CSF flow wasn't getting out of my skull, so I was told I need it.

I was decompressed in 2019. It gave me my life back after I stopped being able to walk or talk normal due to blocked csf flow. Recovery was a bear, but bit by bit I got back to my normal self. I would say it took a year to fully recover but at about 6 months post op I was back to 90%of my normal activity.
