I was under the belief that syrinx formed where the flow of spinal fluid was interupted or altered although I couldn't tell you if the tissue was starved of fluid or flooded by it.   john   In a message dated 8/31/2006 10:11:38 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:  Ron, the doctors told me that they don't know why they grow or spread up and down the spine......some peoples will stay the same size pretty much forever--others will grow very fast, while others will slowly grow or spread over many many years...so do what you like as it seems there are no clear answers on this-----the doctors still don't know why some get them and others don't.                               Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sidewalk opinions are great, but when you want expert answers to a question like that you should go to Dr.Bart Green at the Miami Project.  Dr. Green accepts emails and will often personally answer those questions.  Try it.

Do you guys think that swimming and lifting weights will make the syrinx grow? I keep trying to continue my rehab twice a week, and wheel a few miles in an attempt to keep weight off and stay healthy.Somewhere in my mind I keep thinking im going to possibly screw myself over with even worse pain or loss of function. Maybe W or Lori and others could give me their thoughts. thanks guys   Ron c7
