    I have had similar symptoms to you. should I get an MRI?
    Some people are born with a syrinx, some people just get them in life for no reason, and some people get them from trauma to the spine.

    If you think you have one, get an MRI WITH contrast. I got an MRI without and then had to get a second one with contrast.
    (Contrast is just an injection they give you so they can watch the spinal fluid flow around the syrinx.)

    It's been a year and a half at this point. I realize I've had a syrinx / syringomyelia growing for at least 20 years and didn't know it. The MRI is the only way to find out.

    I'm one of the lucky ones, my symptoms are minor. I've been working out like crazy and am in the best shape of my life again.

    I'll never be as strong as I used to, but compared to the constant pain and paralysis some people get, I've got it easy.

    I hope you don't have this, and it's just something minor...
    Good luck!
