I have post-traumatic syringomyelia. Since 1989 I have gone through 3 surgeries - one in the US, other in France,
and the last one in the UK where the late Dr. Bernard Williams performed the surgery. Unfortunately, a month after
this surgery he himself became a victim of a terrible car accident, and died later on. Consequently I am without
the guidance of a specialist like him. Recently the typical symptoms of syringomylia - back and neck pain,
body disformity, weakness in arms - have been coming in force.
I live in Luxembourg presently, and I am desperately looking for a specialist - neurosurgeon, neurologist etc. -
somewhere in Europe. If you know of any such contact or places where I could find one, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks.
Aman
