I went on carnival rides Aug 14th. I got a terrible headache the next day, then blurred vision, numb tingling hands and feet, the back of my head and neck hurt so bad you could not touch it!! Then I got a lump feeling in the back of my throat which made it hard to swallow. Long story short....two trips to the emergency room, a CT scan, two MRIs and xrays, show I have a 2.5mm herniation of the cerebral tonsils through the magnum foramen. The report says no definite chiari malformation identified. I also have Klippel Feil, fusion of disc c5-c6. I am still in a lot of pain and every day is different. I am looking into a neurosurgeon in my area that is interested in chiari but it will be a while before I see him. I am at a loss of what is wrong with me and starting to wonder if anyone will ever help me.
