A member asked:
If i have symptoms that have me concerned i may have a syrinx in my spine would it still be okay to have a spinal block for a csection?

Depends: Depends in part on the nature and cause of your symptoms. If you are having unexplained neurological symptoms, ideally they would be accurately diagnosed before you undergoing any interventional procedures that involve the spine.
