My pain and discomfort began w/ abdominal stuff too. After 4-5 yrs of procedures (GI series, ultrasounds
CT scans, etc) with everything being 'negative' ... I finally had an MRI and a lengthy syrinx
was found. I did have a shunt put in but it damn near killed me.
The spine can cause pain ANYWHERE. Cyst or not.

I'm a C-5 incomplete, 11 years. The pain is a burning pain in my
colon, started about a year ago. Started out pretty mild, but has
been getting progressively worse ever since. Had a colonoscopy done
last January, all they found was "mild" proctitis and a grade 1
internal hemorrhoid. Gastroenterologist prescribed annusol
suppositories, no relief. General doctor prescribed proctofoam, no
relief. Back to the gastroenterologist, prescribed annusol cream, no
relief. General doctor told me to keep trying the proctofoam, also
had me take a stool sample to be tested for parasites/bacteria. I
never heard back from the General doctor about the tests, so I called
them a few weeks ago. The receptionist said there was a letter about
the results in my file, but only the doctor could open it and he's out
of town for a month. I made an appointment to see another doctor in
the same office, was supposed to go on July 20, but turns out she has
a meeting that day, was rescheduled to July 27. Hopefully I'll have
more luck with a third opinion, thought I would ask her about the DREZ
procedure.
