Mine are all black, is that it? They want to (or should? ) replace them all but its too big a job.
I too have a syrinx, from c6 to t11 but it is unknown how much it contributes as some comes from higher up and goes down my arms.

Pardon me.. desecration.. (correct spelling)

I am certain that was a typo and it meant desiccated. There's other terminology used when there's indication of arthritic changes.

Flattened out desiccated discs (severe/extreme) appear black.

Am sure many of our spines are pretty desecrated though after all we've been thru!
