Can I ask anyone, how serious is a thoracic syrinx on your spine, I'm really worried that the syrinx will stop me from having spinal cord stimulator operation to help with my neuropathy in my feet

Hello there,

It would probably be best to consult your GP about this condition and whether you'll still be able to have the spinal cord stimulation operation.

Take a look at the following link - painconcern.org.uk/medtroni... - from here, you could find out more information about spinal cord stimulation and whether it would be suitable for you.

I hope this information was useful.
