has anyone tried dilantin to control pain caused by a syrinx? Good, bad results?
Long story short, have been in terrible pain for the last three years (C5 incomplete, 13 years post). Had an MRI taken in 2005, the radiologist said my spinal cord looked normal. Told him that wasn't possible, please look again, same diagnosis, everything looked normal. Went to a neurologist w/ the 2005 MRI's last thursday, he immediately saw a 5 cm syrinx. He prescribed dilantin, I had already tried neurontin and lyrica w/ out any relief. He also ordered a new MRI. The radiologist who originally read the 2005 scans was fired shortly after my scans were taken.
