  • Just had the embolization a few days ago. Slowly getting back to normal. Good luck to anyone going through this. Scary stuff.

  • I had an avm at the t-6 in my spinal column. It has been a long road to recovery. I had to learn to walk again.

  • If anyone is nervous or feels like this is painful to get rid of it isn't! If you use a gamma knife they put three bb's In your head for alignment( this is probably the worst part but you feel absolutely nothing because of novacaine) and then they put you In a machine that spins you around to get the location of the avm for the radiation to come I'n contact. Then they apply radiation. This takes approximately a half an hour and you feel like nothing is happening. Then... WOW your done its that

  • @61ROCKSTARZ I've been battling this for six years. The pain is killing me... I also get staph infections all the time. Been battling the same one sense Oct of 2010. I don't know what to do anymore...

  • @babyCALVARY damn really i have that in my right leg and in 2010 the whole year i was in pain i had 4 surgerys and i keept bleeding from the wound every time i moved but thanks to god i got better my wound closed i can run again... but it was the worst pain ever, i had to take really strong drugs for the pain

  • I have a giant one in my left foot. It causes wounds to take years to heal and I bleed from it often. :[

  • I have both types of AVM on the right side of my head. Their gonna start with the embolization soon. I'm curious how it will work out.

  • My avm is in the tongue, jaw, cheek...it's growing great in the las years. I had laseryag, embos, surgeries.... Have I any solution?

  • Thank you this has been very informative. My sister is going for her third embolisation for her AVM atm. This procedure is amasing.

  • I have an intramedullary spinal cord AVM and aneurysm. AVM bled 8 yrs. ago. Initially dx'd with cavernous angioma. Found out 4 yrs. later I have the AVM and aneurysm. Still have severe deficits from the bleed. Both embolized 4 yrs. ago, obliterating the AVM. Found out a couple of months ago the AVM has grown back, and the embo in the aneurysm is holding up at this time. Hopefully AVM will be embolized again in a few months. Thank you for these videos. Can you please do one on spinal cord AVMs?
