update

I just wanted to give everybody a update. I had my mris 8 months post surgery. I have a small syrinx, which I didn't have pre-surgery:( still waiting for the surgeon to get back to me. I'm so frustrated. I went to see a neurologist and she is having me tested for POTS:( She said the surgeon needs to address the srynix. I don't know what to do anymore:( Has anybody ever developed a syrinx post surgery?

   Hi...I have heard of it....most times this is caused by scar tissue.

  And I agree...deal with the syrinx first.....what does your NS say?
