So sorry you're going through so much pain.  I thought I had one also  a 
number of years ago and I remember how scared I was each time I got a MRI for  
a number of years..  Mine turned out to be scar tissue.  I hope you  can 
find and go to the expert and they were will do something if they know it  
will help.  I met several people briefly at Craig who had gone through the  
surgery.  I was just there for a rehab evaluation.  That is where they  found 
what they thought was a syrinx
.
You always think that when you are  quad, at least you will not change in 
what you can do.  You feel fortunate  compared to compare to a person with a 
degenerative disease.  We don't  usually know anything about what a syrinx 
can do.  I went to a syrinx  workshop during that time.  A lot of the top 
surgeons were discussed, but  unfortunately I don't remember their names.  
There is a website.  Many  of them were not already quadriplegics.
 
So sorry you are having to go through this.  I know how important it  is to 
find the right surgeon.
Dana
