A member asked:
I have a syrinx from the c2-t8 and the doctors said no to spinal blocks for pain....why? i've been referred by my neurologist to have them.

Syringomyelia: It is important to determine the cause of the syringomyelia. It is better to treat the cause or drain the syrinx rather than cover up the pain with cortisone shots. See a neurosurgeon for evaluation and counseling for the best treatment.
