Can people with Arnold Chiari work? What kind of work can they perform?
Can you work with Arnold Chiari? Real patients share what jobs they do and how they adapted, plus practical guidance.
Everyone is different. Depends on the severity.

Yes. I am currently serving in the US Army, and have been for 14 years. My brain surgery was 10 years ago, and I have managed to have a very successful career.

I think people with Chiari can work in any field they set their mind to if their body cooperates with them. Just like any disability or handicap, the degree of limitation and the effect those limitations has on each person varies from person to person and that's without even considering different co-morbidities that may be present.

I would say it depends on the severity of your symptoms. I would not do a job that requires heavy lifting and this can exasperate your symptoms.

Yes, as long as they are physically able

Yes
As long as you have a strong mind you can do anything
I continue to work full time as a bank manager

So different from patient to patient. I wish I could work! Many can.. they have full active lives. Others with co morbid who were misdiagnosed for years are far less likely to continue working

yes, they can work with possible limitation but each individual case can be vastly different....maybe 70%

yes , they possible can work in non physical jobs with no lifting or bending in a quite work area. it depends on how severe their symptoms are.

Symptoms severity may vary so a lot of people who have this condition don't even know about it and have no symptoms. There are a lot of cases however where people with Chiari are unable to work

Working when you have CHIARI all depends on your symptoms, some have CHIARI without symptoms while other suffer with many. I would say the ability to work would be on a case to case basis. Some have very mild symptoms while another can suffer with minimal symptoms.

si, pueden trabajar, pero no en trabajos que sean muy forzosos, ni agotadores

Of course. If it is true that will depend on the type of diagnosis the patient has and the type of work. Some people experience a worsening of symptoms as a result of their work, but each person has different thresholds and it is difficult to group the cases.

Yes, depending on the degree and symptomatology will be able to perform one or other of these trades.
In some cases it may not work in certain seasons.

I can't speak of percentages of specific, but most can work.
Depends on the symptoms of each one, since it is a disease that affects different from each other.
People with Arnold Chiari should not have a jobs static and forced.

Yes, but not in any thing. The ideal job would be in one sitting, without spending too many hours in front of a pc and with opportunities to get up and do stretches frequently. The work of physical effort, standing for many hours etc, tend to be contra-indicated.
