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.

Summarized question: What causes syringomyelia?
