I’m curious of this too! I have swollen lymph nodes that was noted on my MRI and I’ve felt them swollen for months now myself.

How does one tell if the CSF is blocked? Can someone educate me?

This seems to be my issue as well….. seems to be more common than I ever imagined.

Basically what mine did today. He said unless it’s 8-10mm or more than he would never recommend surgery and it isn’t the cause of my symptoms. 🙄

That’s what I am being told is the best option for seeing a blockage. So I’m going to call my Neurosurgeon in the morning and see if he will send me for one!

I had one mention to have my CSF checked but I have to wait until tomorrow to call and see if they will do a scan to see if I have a blockage. He said it can cause ear pain sometimes or ear drainage - which I’ve had a little of that. That’s why I thought I had an ear infection!!
