I have ACM TYPE2 and two syrinx - currently I take pain meds for my symptoms, my pain management doctor has given me a flat out ultimatum.either I agree to do a spinal cord pain pump or he will not treat me. My concerns are many, however I am worried that with the syrnix that the flow of spinal fluid ( which is poor at best) won t properly deliver the meds from the pump. I don t want to pay thousands to have a trial insert just to find out! He has no other chiari patients so my questions are not answered- please help;( thank you
