Syringomyelia (sear-IN-go-my-EEL-ya) is a disorder in which a cyst or tubular cavity forms within the spinal cord. This cyst, called a syrinx, expands and elongates over time, destroying the center of the spinal cord.

All I could find about it was this:
Treatment
The goals of treatment are to stop progression of spinal cord damage and to maximize functioning. Surgical decompression may be appropriate, if there is an identifiable mass compressing the spinal cord. Physical therapy may be needed to maximize muscular function.
In other words, it doesn't look like there's any 'progress' to be had. Best wishes!
