I was told I have a syrinx, a small one it said it was between c2-c7 , thats allI was told , I had no idea I even had one, I was never told, I was looking to have some lab work faxed to me and the secratery faxed me a copy of a letter to my family DR and in it it said in 2005 on an MRI it was identified had a syrinx, I was surprised I was never told abt this ever. Anyway , just recently I was in a hot tub , and had used very forceful jets on my back, and was wondering if its possible taht tjose jets on full force could possibly cause a disrubtion of that syrinx? I am currently gng through a recovery from a perscribtion I had a paridoxical effect from it and is dealing with alot of related symptoms to that effect, but now I am worried if the syrinx is now complicating everything , I never ever had any series trama to my neck or spinal cord ever in my life , but latle I am having alot of muscular aches and pains , spasms etc... and it is a common symptom from the other situation I am dealing with , but I feel its excerabated ever since I was in the hot tub . txss for reading

Hi there. Syrinxes in the cervical region affects the pain and temperature sensation in arms, upper back, lower neck and hands. This decreased sensitivity may go unnoticed for years. With the syrinx expanding and lengthening one could have weakness and atrophy. Usually starting in the hands and later causing weakness and spasms in the legs mostly one sided. The treatment could involve a neurosurgeon making a hole in a syrinx to drain it from expanding. At times, this may not help since nervous system may be damaged irreversibly. The structural lesions or spinal tumors leading to syrinx should be corrected if possible. Hope this helps. Take care.
Hi...is ur syrinx the result of trauma or is it from the obstruction of CSF?...If so, do u know if u have Chiari malformation as well?
A syrinx or syringomyelia is related to chiari and can result from an injury or it can be congenital....but, once u have on u will want to know how large it is and what affect it is having on ur overall health.
I want to invite u to join the chiari forum where we have other members with a syrinx that may be able to share symptoms and treatments.
