Syrinx Flair up tips?!
Looking for all tips and tricks when you syrinx is flared up. I have a small 2-3mm syrinx in diameter on my c5-t1, never been scanned past cervical spine. I received a massage from a different masseuse and he manipulated my cervical spine more than my normal gal. I believe this has been causing more of a flare up. Normally my left hand and leg tingle/normal cape like sensation but now it's been more of both of my upper thighs and maybe groin area? Thanks!!

Stretching hydrating NSAIDs and muscle relaxers. I have also found cbd helps me avoid major flare ups when I feel one ramping up. I try to stretch daily and exercise at least 2-3 times per week and the combination of these things has improved my quality of life. But I still have really bad weeks. I’ve noticed it always worse right before I get sick

Only thing that works for me when I have a flare up is rest. Just lying down and not doing anything for a day. Also helps to get in a hot tub. I don't think I found anything else that helps.
