Syringomyelia - anyone else?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi all, I was born with Kyposis, never had surgery or treatment, apart from physio. Live in constant pain. Am on high doses of painkillers. 3 Years ago I was diagnosed with Syringomeliar. I was wondering if there was anybody else that has either Scoliosis/Kyphoidosis AND Syringomeliar, and would like some tips on how to manage. Thank you.

    Hi Janet,

    Ive had Scoliosis for 30 years and had fusions. I too am on high pain killers and am having tingling and numbness mainly onn my right. Ive just had EMG testing and the Registrar suspects Syringmyelia. I had MRI yesterday so Im waiting. I too would be interested in hearing if others have had any experiences. Lets hope. How are you doing?
