Surgery date: January 2011<\/p>\n
My story is long and painful however I will share small details with you as my personal testimony. Apparently, I was born healthy and strong but at 8 years I began to have rare sensations as if I had received a strong hit in the chest, dizziness, sciatica, neck stiffness, severe headaches\u2026<\/p>\n
With 10 years the doctor thought everything would be fine after menstruation. But, my problems increased. With 14 years they realized that I had a tremendous scoliosis. With a lot of pain and tiredness I looked like a grandmother. At 23, after falling from small height, without any fracture, I atrophied my right hand and it paralized. Eight months later I was diagnosed with Chiari I malformation<\/strong> with syringomyelia<\/strong> at C2-T11\/12 level. With 27 years I had suboccipital craniectomy surgery with duraplasty. Some symptoms disappeared after this like cramps that ran through my body as if I was receiving electric shocks. Other symptoms remained and over the years other symptoms appeared: intense pain in the fingers, lack of mobility in the upper limbs, lack of breathing capacity, hoarseness and dysphonia \u2026 I passed years as a patient in pain care unit. At the beginning of 2011 and after much investigating I decided to put my poor health in the hands of the Institut Chiari, Dr. Royo and his team. What a fortunate decision it was!<\/p>\n My levels of pain and strength have improved, and now I can sleep at night. After more than 40 years of illness I have found some peace. Although some injuries will always accompany me throughout my life and now it is not a torture. To all those who unfortunately are suffering from this disease, I request you to see the section of the filum terminale<\/strong> as the 1st<\/sup> and the best option to stop the progression of their disease in time and to improve.<\/p>\n Some time ago, Dr. Royo operated my daughter also. Other doctors wanted to perform a craniectomy on her but couldn\u2019t deceive me.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sorry that I am not sharing more details about me but my work situation is not very clear and you will understand why I\u2019m doing so.<\/p>\n If someone wants more information, you can contact me.<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","tipos-de-testimonio":[353],"class_list":["post-52626","testimonios","type-testimonios","status-publish","hentry","tipos-de-testimonio-sft-after-suboccipital-craniectomy-soc"],"yoast_head":"\n
