Hi Ron,

I found out I had a syrinx four years ago at my injury level C 4-5.  My only symptom was increased pain, basically it want from bad to worst and in more areas on my body.  So my neurosurgeon who did my original neck surgery put a shunt in to drain the syrinx.  It made absolutely no difference on my pain.  And my pain has gotten worse.  I have severe ice burning pain in my abdomen and back and hot burning and needles pain in my butt, in between my thighs, and down to my knees and sometimes down to my feet.  I have tried nearly all the medications given for nerve pain, plus all the narcotics, and have had little to no relief.
Good luck at Craig!  I wish I could have went there myself.

Corie
