I will check the spelling of the last name in my notes. I went to him twice a few yrs ago, but he wouldnt do the surgery because I had no function loss .I was told this guy is the main neuro down there and kinda pulls the strings of the others. Im in a similar situation with pretty constant pain, but no additional spasms as of yet. Will write more later. ron c7 --- On Thu, 8/6/09, Danny Hearn <[email protected]> wrote: From: Danny Hearn <[email protected]> Subject: [QUAD-L] Syrinx To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 9:26 AM Ron, If you have the name of one of the top neuro surgeons at Washington U., can you give it to me again?? We can't find the paper we had wrote his name on. Dr. Wice had an MRI done and said I have a few things going on...and need to see a neuro surgeon. He said my syrinx is indeed growing and may be causing a lot of my problems. I have lots of pain and after being up 3 or 4 hours, i need pain meds just to help control pain and spasms. ------ I have never really had spasms in my 12 years as a quad unless i had a uti. I just made 12 years quad life 8-3-09 a few days ago. Also Laurie and others that had surgury for a syrinx --- did it help most or harm any on the list? this is scary stuff---i wish i could go back to my normal quad life the 1st 11 years or so. thanks for input from any on list,,,, Dan H c-6- 12 yr. post , st. louis, Missouri, area.
