Default Syrinx on back

So I want to start I just had my daughter Jan 21st of 2014 and that's when the pain started in my back. I had a epidural during labor and they messed up which caused me immense pain when they inserted it and it never worked. So I delivered my daughter and as the weeks now months have went by my back pain right in my spine has gotten worse.

My doctor first thought a pinched nerve gave me pain meds and had me go to PT. But that hasn't helped she just had a MRI done on my back and they called Mr back to tell me that there is a buildup of fluid on my spinal canal. They want more images and me to see a neuro surgeon and she said I would probably need the fluid surgical removed or it could cause permanent damage.

So I got the report from the radiologist and it says alot of stuff that I didnt understand but it said syrinx in the lower back and I googled it and read up on it before I went to the neurosurgeons. Well now I have had more images and finally after a month got in to see the doctor and he said he sees what my primary doctor was seeing and agrees thier is fluid but he doesnt think its a big deal and doesnt want to do anything. I said to him but I am in a tremendous amount of pain and you dont think that the fluid is causing that, so what is? He said well I dont see anything else on the scan but the fluid, I think we should check it in 6 months but other than that, thats all.

So I am not sure what is going on my back is constantly in pain right in my lower spine where they saw the fluid and it radiates through out my back and also now my hands and feet keep getting tingling and go numb. I am just always in pain and I just want it to stop.

Shouldnt I see someone else or what??
