I have a syrinx in spinal cord and was having symptoms long before they found it.i have tingling numbness in right arm and leg,and a feeling of cold water running through spine and into leg.the left arm was hurting so bad the other night i was bawling like a baby and could not even pick up or feed my six month old.i am now using a cane to help me walk.i went to er for the severe pain in left arm and they treated me as if i was crazy.they said the cyst could not be causing my symptoms and it is not impinging any thing.furthermore they said they spoke to my neurosurgeons partner whom i have never even seen yet until feb 23 and he said they said they will not even operate on me.was just wondering where to go from here?? Do i keep my appt with neuro or what?? What else could be causing symptoms??? If not the cyst what else could it be?? Also my cyst is from c/6 to t/2 and is 8mm wide.could it be ms????help i am losing my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
