A member asked:
Can i have spinal pain injections to relieve the pain from the syrinx inside my spinal cord?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syringomyelia : Treating the cause of the syrinx and/or draining the syrinx is the first course of treatment. Injections may be used later as an adjunct to treatment of the syringomyelia. See your neurosurgeon to discuss the treatment options and the best approach for you.
