Arachnoid cyst/ weakness in arms

[Guest guest]

Just posting to share a symptom with others who might have this. One symptom

I'm having is weakness in my arms. I can feel its origin is in the spine where

the cyst is. It comes and goes, but according to information on WebMD, this is

indicative of a syrinx rather than an arachnoid cyst. Anyone have any

experience or knowledge about this?

Dr. B got this question right. By " vibrations " I understand you to mean

tremors or something similar. Because of loose ligaments, when I turn my neck or

tilt my head I get uncoordination in the arms and legs. The fine balance of

muscles pulling this way and pushing that way is off kilter because of a

disturbance in the nervous system. Dr. B's answer confirms the spinal cord is

being irritated in some way.
