HI, IVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CHIARI MALFORMATION TYPE 1. THIS DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE SEVERAL YRS AGO AND SURGERY WAS RECOMMEDED, I NEVER GOT IT DONE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID. I AM ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY OVERWEIGHT, AND WAS THINKING THE PAIN WAS DUE TO DIABETES. I GOT MY LAB TESTS DONE, AND I DO NOT HAVE DIABETES. WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THIS PAIN
The problem Chiara malformation may or may not require surgery depending on severity and its effects. Nevertheless, it isn't clear which part of your body is experiencing pain and the nature of pain?
