HELP ME Myelomalacia and Syrinx after SCI C2

I'm a quadriplegic with myelomalacia, post traumatic syrinx, tethered spinal cord, multiple bulging disc C3-T1, 2017 C2 C3 fusion, 2020 syrinx symptoms begin, 2022 C2, C3 and C4 decompressive laminectomy, 2022 shunt placement. The shunt was supposed to help with my symptoms. However, they keep getting worse. Causing nerve pain on my face, lack of feeling. Why is it affecting my face? Why is it still getting worse? Will I ever have a new normal? Every day my body is changing. My anxiety and depression is severe. DO DOCTORS KNOW ANYTHING?! Is me getting in my wheelchair and moving my neck causing the progression?
