11 months post op. Couple questions?

General

I am 11 months 4 days post op. I have had some Chiari headachess off and on but not the daily being miserable. My hardest things post op have been with the muscles on the left side of my neck. I get terrible spasms in them. Now that it is getting colder if and cold air blows on my neck or incisions they tighten up and spasms and I instantly get a terrible Chiari headache. Anyone else have this issue and how do you deal with it?

Ive talked to my NS who is amazing and they say that it is just nerve sensitivity and muscle weakness.

Hi Mindy,

I also have the same symptoms. Muscle relaxers help a lot. I also wear or have a scarf with me anytime the weather may be chilly. I probably have several in my car, just in case the weather changes. In the winter I always wear coats with collars or hoods & scarfs. Scarf's aren't only stylish they are necessary for Chiarians.
