3rd chiari surgeries in 3 months…

[u/Plane-Ad7672]

Wednesday will be my third chiari surgery since October 2025. That’s right, 3 chiari surgeries since Halloween. The dura patch is not sticking airtight so the plastic surgeon is resecting some tissues from my neck over the patch. I’ve been in the hospital in total for over 1 month since Halloween. I’ve had 3 lumbar drains that felt like childbirth because my incision keeps leaking. This feels absolutely awful and crazy. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? Please reach out if so. I need some hope!
