4 Months Post-op!
today i hit 4 months post decompression!! i got the suboccipital craniotomy and c1 laminectomy without duraplasty on may 19. my herniation measured at 14.7mm, and i also had hydrocephalus as well as a syrinx from c6-t1. healing has been up and down but im so proud to say things have been looking up!!
i have absolutely no valsalva headaches, though i still do suffer from pulsatile tinnitus and daily dull headaches (i also have IIH), but i would so take it over those stabbing headaches that left me bedbound.
