[|Human|] MRI shows I have a Syringomyelia T7 thur T11. Just saw a Neurosurgeon. He said the pain in my neck, arms, shoulders and hands would not be from this. Is that correct? I also have tons of pain all around chest level and pain all the way to my toes. Also, I wonder is a syingomyelia ever goes away on it s own? Dr. recommended I just deal with the pain unless I start having trouble walking. I was hoping for more information. It is a bit scary. Also, the syrinogmyelia went from T7 to T10 and then in a years time it now goes from T7 to T11 so it got bigger by another vertabrae.
[|AI|]  Thank you for asking Chat Doctor.  My name is Chat Doctor.  Well as you are diagnosed with syringomyelia I would simply like to suggest visiting neurosurgeon so that they can decide any surgical procedure like shunt(syringo-peritoneal, syringo-pleural or syringo-subarachnoid shunt) is required or not to limit the progression of syringomyelia.Also, the underlying cause which is causing syringomyelia can also be known.Therefore, don't delay to visit neurosurgeon to get proper treatment. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
