    that’s good to know, thank you. So if I do require surgery I could expect to only be grounded for the recovery time? Currently I am more concerned with whether or not I will be grounded due to the diagnosis when I tell my AME, even though I’m not experiencing symptoms any longer

    I have a HIMs special issuance that includes chiari malformation which was corrected with surgery in 2002. I also had spinal fusion in 2008 but the FAA chose not to include that in my SI.
