Hi- My friend has an incomplete c5 injury, now 16 months out. He was making slow progress, but over the past few months has had slowly worsening increased tone (not so much actual spasms) that has really hampered function & is not associated whith usual suspects (urine, bowel etc) Working on different therapeutic modalities, but why now?? Could this be a syrinx- but no increased pain (not really any pain)nor weakness, numbness, etc...Any thoughts appreciated!

An MRI sounds like a good idea for your friend. It may be a syrinx, it may not, but the only way to find out is with an MRI.
