Neurologist's Call

My neurologist called today to get back to me about the MRI. He said that my brain is unremarkable - however, there is an unusual fluid on my spine. He mentioned Syrinx, which is a fluid-filled cavity within the spinal cord. The symptoms seem to be consistent with my symptoms. I am getting a referral to see a spinal specialist out of town. I'm supposed to contact the neurologist if my symptoms change or get worse. After I see the spine person, I'm supposed to go back to the neurologist to discuss what might be going on and how to treat it.

I am also waiting for a call from my Rheumatologist. For the last two weeks, my hands have been severely inflamed to the point where I can barely grasp anything. My middle right finger has started hurting even when I'm not doing anything - like little electrocutions from the lower joint in the finger. So I called him today to ask for a phone consult. I figured I can tell him what's going on and hear the results of my last batch of bloodwork and x-rays, and then I'll see if I need to come in again or not.
