Suggest Treatment For Syringomyelia

I have wounds from Vietnam to my neck that caused a syrigomyilia. The syringomyilia has caused left side problems, my left shoulder has been fused due to Charcot joint. My elbow on the left side is almost destroyed as well as the left wrist. I feel like the teeth on the left lower jaw are affected by enlarging, Is that possible?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

In my opinion I don't think your jaw is actually enlarged the muscles may have been weakened and flaccid but being enlarged is very rare I think anyway it have many symptoms that include weakness and pain in the back, shoulders, arms, or legs an inability to feel hot or cold, a loss of pain sensation, difficulty walking, bowel and bladder function problems, facial pain and numbness, curvature of the spine, or scoliosis. Please consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
