NUCCA ? something I never considered in past but I’m very unwell
I (27F) am awaiting Chiari decompression, 9mm herniation. I’ve had to work a very competitive remote job and finally gained adequate health insurance this month. My symptoms became severe 2 years ago after having baby- so it’s been a long time coming
A couple weeks ago, after dealing with back to back viral illness, I was bending over to pick something up when I suddenly felt like my head was sliding off my neck. It caused some big autonomic reactions and I went to ER with clear CTA. since this episode, my neck just feels so unstable and it’s really scaring me. All of my surgeons are across country and I don’t even feel safe to travel in this state right now- I am so desperate I’m considering NUCCA to see if it’s possible my atlas rotated or something
Is this completely unsafe? Has anyone had success that has comorbid possible cervical issues?
