Just putting this out there......I've had a rather bad night this evening. I have gone to physio training today and went to the Osteopath as well. A few hours after seeing my Osteo (who did not do any bone on bone "High Velocity" adjustments but worked more with massage and the muscles) I started to feel really really strange. I was SUPER SUPER dizzy and could not feel the muscles in between my shoulder blades all the way up to the back of my skull (it's not that i couldnt feel them it was more like i had no control over them.) I couldn't pull my shoulders back at all however, i was in no pain what so ever! I had slight atrophy down my left side (especially my upper neck muscles) and pins and needles at the top of my head. I was just wondering if this could be attributed to the Chiari? I usually have pain associated with my Chiari symptoms however, no pain here! Anyone with similar experiences would be most welcome! I must admit I thought that I was in serious trouble for a while as I did not (and still do not) quite understand what is going on?!!
This morning I woke with this pulsing (like I had a pulse in one side of my head) feeling, the pain is unbearable, like something if going to burst feeling... Should I go to the ER to have this checked out? I have not been officially dx with CM yet, awaiting a second opinion. But I don't like this feeling that's going on in my head. Please any advice would be appreciate?
@djm222 I'm not sure if that's chiari related or not. I would definitely mention it to your osteo on see what they think could have caused it. Let us know how you are doing! Sorry I'm not much help!
@rosebud I would get that pain checked out. It's better to err on the side of caution!
I had been working with a physiatrist..rehab doc..and he did deep muscle massage and man, the next day...I had pain and some of the strange things you were writing about...It did go away after a few days...I am not sure what did it..the massage or the Tens Unit he put on me after..he called it Russian Stimulation.
Hiya! I feel ok today. I’ve woken up and feel like I’ve been hit by a truck! Muscles in my neck and back are sore and feel like I’m in a thick fog but at least I’m alive :). Still quite dizzy but not as bad as last night. Anyone would have thought that I was drunk!! I think that seeing my Osteopath and physio training all in one morning was a bit much for my body to handle. Won’t do that again haha! Thanks for all the posts! Kinda words always help when u are in a bit of a panic patch xx
