Hi,
Ive been paralyzed 9 years in january. The first year I was injured I had pretty much pain. I started pushing around the neighborhood and the excercise seemed to help some. My pain level started easing up as the years went by until I reached the 5th year. At this point things changed basically overnight, I had burning in my stomach and back. I thought I had a uti, but after things didnt change and the pain continued I got an mri and the syrinx was found. From the 5th year until now pain has increased some but not much, still not bad enough to warrant surgery. I just went to the doc to get another mri since it had been 1.5 years since the last. He told me whats the point of an mri, im not losing any function so be happy, lol. He didnt understand that there is peace of mind knowing if the syrinx is remaining the same size. I was given lyrica 50mg twice a day, im currently on the 50mg amytriptyline at bedtime which helps some, and lorezapam twice a
day to cut the pain a lil.
