Two months ago, I started having head pains/neck pains/muscle twitches/some numbness and weakness of extremities. I had an MRI which showed a dilation of the central canal of the spinal cord most consistent with a 'syrinx'. If you are familiar with 'syringomyelia' you know it is very dangerous, etc. Today I went for my first visit to a doctor, a neurosurgeon. He looked at my MRI and said this was 'normal' and just something I was born with and is not what is causing my symptoms. He said the 'dilation' measures about 2mm wide/4mm long. My question is, is it possible he is right and this is nothing to be worried about or is it just that this problem is so rare he probably isn't well educated on the horrific effects it can potentially have if allowed to progress? I do have a history of neck trauma, it has been about 10 years ago. Today is also the first day in 2 months that I have not had head pain and the muscle twitching is decreased by 75% - hopefully it will stay this way!

Vicodin works but I'm concerned about it being habit forming. The doc prescribed Hycosymine. It makes me very tired and does not ease the pain.

I eat very carefully and use homeopathic remedies but when the severe pain hits I need something stronger.

Any info would be appreciated.

I was just given a prescription for it the day before yesterday and I'm scared to take it. Has anyone ever had any bad side effects from taking it?

I Recently started having pain in my foot. I tired to think of something that could have cause it. This past weekend, I did a lot of walking. I had on an ergonomic mule shoe. I wear them a lot though cause they are so comfortable. I've done a lot of walking in them before without any pain. My foot didn't start hurting until Monday. It hurts on the side of my foot, on the outside. The link provided is a photo diagram of where it hurts. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u117/tshirtsnmorestore/footpain.jpg
It only hurts when I walk. I can push where I have the pain when I walk, and it doesn't hurt at all. If I wear shoes, it hurts worse. From a scale of 1-10, the pain is about a 6. If I wear shoes, and walk on my foot it can become a 9. If I walk on my tip toes...I have no pain. My foot isn't swollen or anything. I'm not sure if it's something that will just go away on it's own, or if it's something that I should definitely go to the doctor for. Any thoughts?

About a week or so ago, I answered a question and I phrased it wrong. I mentioned that vertigo and Meniere's were the same thing. What I actually meant to say is that they are similar to each other...NOT the same thing. That was my mistake. Sometimes, my fingers get ahead of my brain. I apologize.

After working a 24 hour shift when I got my a** handed to me, my mind is sometimes not all here. I'm exhausted but still wired on adrenaline and I come onto Yahoo Answers to wind down.

Yes, I am a REAL medical professional. I am an emergency medical technician.

I suppose it would help if I proofread what I write.

For a couple of weeks now, I have been having constant headaches and eye pain on my right side. I've ignored it as something temporary but the pain keeps on coming and even when I take pain medicine (Aspirine, Motrin, Tylenol) it doesn't go away. It helps a lot when I put ice or a very cold towel on my eye and temple. I also see black dots. Could this be because of eye problems?

Thanks in Advance,

I have sudden pain in my fingers only. It's not in my hand, wrist, or thumb! I have had no injuries. The pain is in my right fingers, sometimes radiating up to my elbow. I can straighten & bend all of my fingers, but aching pain to do so. Should I contact my doctor? Any ideas on what this could be? How long should I wait before I call the doctor? Please help!!
