[|Human|] I have 2 syrinx in my spine. One at my C5-C7 (3mm) and one at my T6-T12 (8mm x 7mm). I am having a lot of sensations in my arms & even trouble feeling like i have good grip at times. my cheeks seem to have tingling as well, among other minor complaints. I am afraid of paralysis and symptoms getting worse. The sites i see says surgery is not preferred but what should I expect from here on?
[|AI|]  Hello there! Thank you for asking. Syringomyelia is a condition which take years to progress. And no medical condition or prevention deterrence can help it, Surgery is the only way out. Of course treating early infections and Managing weight and trauma can prevent complications or at least delay them. Simple NSAIDs and Skeletal muscle relaxants will help in medicine. But see the neurosurgeon for surgical opinion and see physiotherapists, urologists and endocrinologist for managing associated complications or preventing them. RegardsS khan
