Hey sheri sorry to scare you but that is what mt doctor said triggered it because all symptoms showed up and got progressivly worse right after his birth.I do not like to hear however that the neurosurgeon did nothing for you. That leaves me in complete fear that mine will do the same and leave me to deal with this pain.I did however give birth to three children previously without any problems so i am not quiet sure if my doctor is correct,All i know is i am declining quickly and i do have good days without pain but most are bad with pain.I am on neurontin now and it seems to help some and an antidepressant because i did not want to get out of bed and care for my baby and that is not me at all.Were you diagnosed with syringomyelia?? Do you have to go back and get MRI's done to see if it has grown?? Please let me know and i am sorry to have scared you.
