I suffer chronic pain in neck, shoulders, back. Also many neurological symptoms of having a syrinx. In my case, goal of surgery was to prevent further progression of syrinx and damage to spinal cord. A neurosurgeon diagnosis is recommended

Syringomyelia?

Wt is it..?! Cure..?!

Syringomyelia is a disease which is a syrinx or a sac within the spinal cord that is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Can be idiopathic but usually is caused by compression of spinal cord. I myself have this disease but mine is caused by Chiari malformation type 1

There is no cure except to alleviate compression of the spinal cord. In my case, I had chiari surgery which was a posterior fossa decompression to make more room near my brain stem. This allowed the csf to flow freely
