Again, everyone is different so it is a crapshoot. Some people find relief with surgery while others do not. I had success with draining it for the first two years but even though my shunt did not fail... I began having other pains in that area and a wider area around my spine.
To be honest... just like Heaven is spinal cord injury... people can try different things but you will find that it is far from being so simple as "there has to be something that can be done." Oh.... how I wish there was! My life would be 100% better if that miracle cure (along with a cure for spinal cord injury) can be found with this rare condition. Even Craig Hospital admits that surgery only has a 50% chance of helping. Sometimes people find that a certain drug helps them enough to get by while others, like myself and Corie Jones, cannot find anything that works.
