Yes, Ron, ANY straining exacerbates my pain where the shunt is. And/or
my spine. Which stinks because I used to lift wrist weights, could move easily
in any direction, etc.
I'm hypersensitive with almost anything.
Oh yeah ... the warmth here has made me feel soooooooooooo much better.
More relaxed, etc.
Thank you for the character comment. Some here think I'm a jerk (on opinionated
subjects so that makes ALL OF ME to them a *bad* person ... ya know .. that
shallow minded, narrow thinking process).
Take care,

Hi,
You are an asset to this list, I have read every post on here for over a year and printed your information on your shunt experience. Your posts may have saved my butt from letting some neurosurgeon screw me up. In your experience with a syrinx does activity or lifting, straining etc make you have more pain? Im still swimming and wheeling trying to stay limber and not get to fat or go crazy. I have a fear in my mind that doing these activities may increase my syrinx, but I keep doing them. Whats your thoughts on this. Im sorry about your 44 caregivers, thats a rough go for anyone.At least you have the warm weather, Im in St. Louis feeling cold. Nothing worse for pain and spasms than cold rainy weather.
