Cauda Equina Syndrome - Red flags symptoms you must know

Cauda Equina Syndrome - Red flags symptoms you must know
Cauda equina syndrome is the compression of a collection of nerve roots called the cauda equina. Nerves send and receive electrical signals all across your body. The collection of nerve roots, shaped like a horse’s tail, is located at the bottom of your spinal cord.
Symptoms
Cauda Equina Syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
severe low back pain
bladder dysfunction such as urinary retention or incontinence (loss of control)
bowel incontinence (loss of control)
muscle weakness or sensory loss in both legs
loss of motor function in legs (difficulty walking)
loss or reduction of reflexes
saddle anesthesia (inability to feel anything in the body areas that would sit on a saddle)
Diagnosis
Cauda equina syndrome is difficult to diagnose. It is rare, and its early symptoms may be similar to symptoms of other conditions. In addition, symptoms associated with cauda equina syndrome may vary in intensity and evolve slowly over time.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): the best method of imaging the spinal cord, nerve roots, intervertebral discs, and ligaments. Since these scans can detect damage or disease of soft tissue, MRIs are valuable in diagnosing the cause of cauda equina syndrome.

Bob i had CES like symptoms soon after i lifted a weight in gym. But those symptoms went away after i was administered with pain killers and NSAIDs... I got two mris done and the output is a small disc bulge at l5 level. Can a small disc cause such lethal symptoms?? Also now its been 80 days since my injury, i am able to walk quite well (i couldn't walk properly for about 1 and half month post injury), but sometimes i do get those nerve shock like feeling after walking too much... Since my mris dont show anything significant my doctors are not really sure what is troubling... But i had three episodes of CES, its healing i guess but still there is fear in mind.... Because those symptoms are debilitating...

Please understand I help my painting over time and there is no magic routine to prescribe you. If you can follow a rehab plan and be consistent we can discuss your injury and review your MRI scan & I can answer your questions. You can organise your online consultation and we can go from there. Bob
