I have had MS for over 30 years
I have now been diagnosed with Cauda Equine Syndrome. I am terrified but know i have to do something. I have been offered either surgey or Lumbar injection. Any advive please…
I had a laminectomy years ago and that worked out ok, but your condition sounds rather more urgent and any medical advice is best left to the experts.
All the best with whatever you decide.
This is from the NHS site.
" Cauda equina syndrome requires emergency hospital admission and may require emergency surgery, because the longer it goes untreated, the greater the chance it will lead to permanent paralysis and incontinence."
Hello, I had never heard of Cauda E and certainly don’t know enough about the two alternatives. Have you been told anything about the pros and cons. I hope that either course brings you great results and relief from symptoms
Thank you, seriously, for mentioning Cauda E. I shall learn more about it.
