In may of 2014, I had a cervical radio-frequency done. Soon after the procedure, I was not able to walk. I had a seizure and I went down hill from there. I was in the hospital for 9 days. I had several MRI'S done. The doctors think it was damage done to my cerebellum. The whole procedure started from me suffering with pain on my whole right side after a car accident back in August 2014. Since the procedure, I am not able to function normally. I have constant headaches, neck and back pain and my balance is completely off. Monday I was seen at the neurologist. Too my surprise she states that on my MRI I have what is called a Chiari Malformation. I have never heard of this in Mt life. It is supposed to be a malformation of the cerebellum. The he neurologist think the procedure I had flared it up. Normally having this problem does not bother you unless some kind of injury occurs. The ataxia has been getting worse. I am hoping someone may have some insight about the two of these diagnoses. Thanks
