Hi. I had Chiari Malformation in 2008. I had no syrinx at the time. I had decompression surgery. Now, I have two small syrinx and problems with my neck...pain and some tingling in my hands and weakness. I have bulging discs and some arthritis. My questions are...How do i tell if my problems are caused my syrinx versus a disc problem? Also, i am having some steriod injections in my neck..is this an appropriate way to go? Thanks for your time.
