Cauda Equina Syndrome is a highly disabling condition and it's therefore crucial to detect it at an early stage to allow the best possible prognosis. Red flag signs and symptoms have to be detected before they turn to irreversible white flags.

Excellent. The best description I've ever heard. I've had CES for over 30 years. In all the support groups online, it's a horror to find out there are people, globally, who are still being misdiagnosed to this day (2021) and are left with permanent paralysis because too many ER and A&E personnel are uneducated about the early symptoms and are not running MRIs to rule CES out. Every medical school should be using this video.
Does mri diagnose CES I have tingling in upper back since 2yrs n numbness in feet plz guide me im unable to understand what is the prob
@@KoalaBeer. How are you now
I was diagnosed with, and received a discectomy for CES on 6th Oct this year. My doctors repeatedly dismissed my red flag symptoms and it wasn't until I lost the ability to urinate and lost my anal tone that I was taken seriously. My local hospital still made me sit in a chair for 12 hours while waiting for an MRI (no overnight MRIs in that hospital any more). I could have gone to a different hospital but they downplayed the likelihood of it being CES despite having WHITE FLAG symptoms. After MRI, I was rushed to a bigger hospital (one with a spinal team) via ambulance and in surgery within 4 hours. I'm so devastated by the fact that I have to now be catheterised due to complete inability to pass urine, because the doctors didn't recognise the red flags before they turned into white. If they had listened to me instead of dismissing me, I wouldn't be in this situation. If my local hospital had been honest about the risks and likelihood of this being CES, I could have been treated before completely losing bladder functions. I do feel let down by the local healthcare. I understand that the NHS is in a bad way, but I still feel let down.
I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, these doctor's duty care anymore. what was your red flag signs? I hurt my back in may of this year and it's been down hill since. I have a bulge in my lower disk and other problems, but four weeks ago I did something and now I can't sit down for the last four weeks and in the morning my urine comes out very slow and it's hard to get it all out. It sometimes hurts my back when I try to have a bowel movement, but it's not that bad now because I got the back injection. My question is what was your red flag signs?
@@keephiscommandmentsandlive9860 so did you have CES??
That sounds a lot like what I’m going through. My doctor couldn’t visually see my problem, so was dismissive.
Did you ever try filing a complaint?
You need to sue these mother f ers.
Life changing information. Thank you so much.
Very informative video and break down. Much appreciated.
Excellent presentation. I learn a lot from your channel.
happy to hear that Joanna!
I’ve had this for 5yrs. Had a emergency operation but didn’t really change much for me. No feeling at all down the ride side of leg. Painful when walking etc
What intersting video!!! short n precise
I just had surgery for this last Sunday both legs would go numb all the way to the bottom of my feet I almost dropped my 10 week old niece thankfully her mom grabbed her before I hit the ground at church I went to the hospital they had a neurosurgeon come and assess me and after the mri took me straight for surgery I have severe spinal stenosis throughout my whole spine worst being l4-l5 and s1 many doctors dismissed me telling them I thought this could be the reason for my constant pain and numbness because in their words it's so rare , .be your own advocate , you know your body better then anyone else!
Hey hope you're doing well ❤️🩹. Dod you had any changes in bladder i mean urinary pattern before the both leg numbness incident
How are you coming along
I have symptoms again and i am headed to the hospital in a few min its so painful i almost cant take it @Preeti-lw9jc
Great stuff! Thanks a lot !
What about increasing sciatica pain and loss of use of legs due to proprioception? My husband had just the increasing sciatic pain down both legs over a three week period. Turns out he had an infection pressing on his spinal cord that was missed by the surgeon’s staff at 6 weeks post op back reconstruction T-8 to S-1.
U look wonderful and speak amazing...
Thanks a lot your contents are crystal clear
Thank you! Happy to hear that
Effects on reflexes in cauda equina syndrome????
GOOD POINTS!!
Thanks Lars!
The Doc is incorrect in ststeing CES only presents "anethesia", on the contrary CES can present the feeling of a non stop BLOW TORCH up the Rectum and genitalia and down the legs with serious intractable pain of the unstoppable forest fire burning of the entire pelvis and saddle region renders the patients inability to sit. CES is a cruel disease.
Caudal Epidural Injection are the common iotrogenic causation of CES. Anethesiologists NEED to know that Pfizers DepoMEDROL Acetate Suspension as per Pfizers clear warning is NOT to be used for Epidural, Intrathecal or I.V. use. A needle puncture does enough damage let alone "Depositing" "Depo"MEDROL nuerotoxic chemical into the Lumber /Sacral (Sacral- SACRED) human spine with a known Acetate containing Benzl Alcohol.
Commonly known as Pfizers Depo-MEDROL
*methylprednosolone acetate injectable suspension USP
Myristal-gamma-pictolinium chloride formula.
Medical Professionals MUST know the differences between the Prednisones and Prednosolones if there is going to be any attempt in slowing the severe neurological iotrogenic harm this nuerotoxic chemical causes.
Best Drs to treat this
That's an emergency issue, so any doctor is good and there is no time to waste!
I was just diagnosed with this issue, the orthopedic surgeon went to work quickly. I am recovering from the surgery. I am hoping i did not wait too long and have permanent damage. It was about a week of pain before the surgery. I would encourage anyone who suspects they have this to go to the emergency room now, don't wait.
i wish you explained this in an easy understandable way especially for non medical people

@@Physiotutors thank you let me check it out
I have had bowel problems and sharp pains at bottom of my back which pain normally goes across the bottom of back, also pulsing in back . Can this be caused by lifting accident.
Thank you for this video! It was so informative!
Would a pelvic Mri show this?
Does an MRI show this ??
I had back surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. I ended up with CES and arachnoiditis. My surgeon did not help me find any follow up. I have been to five spine doctors who have no idea how to help me. I did not have any of this before surgery. All I had was sciatica.
Is conus medullary syndrome also bilateral????
What about extreme pain while sitting on the toilet? I’m pretty sure my femoral nerve is impinged but it is incredibly painful to sit on the toilet and there of been times I have had to get off right away....
Is it occurring in the front of your leg? Is the pain local to an area?
Any recommendations for knee valgus?
Train the external rotators and abductors of the hip on strength but also motor control
Would a pelvic mri show this issue? The radiologist didnt mention anything about my nerves in the report but I'm almost 100 percent sure this is whats going on with me?
How about urinate frequent and loss of bowel movement
Thank you for the informative video. I also have a request. Could you please elaborate on the subjective sphincteric problems? I have had a buldging disc at the L5/S1 for over a month and this week i developed a strange rectal pressure on a day my sciatic pain was particularly bad. The sciatica is unilateral, the same leg has diminished heel reflexes, as well as numbness on the sole of my foot and outer toes. No incontinence or urinary issues. Just the sudden emergence of a rectal pressure that first made me think I was constipated, but im not. No saddle anesthesia either as far as I can detect. This entire ordeal has been very frightening and thank you very much for any input you may have. I see a orthopedic spinal surgeon in the next couple days and I would like to educate myself and be prepared. I can assure you I have spent countless hours researching and your video is among the best information I have found yet. The only mention of the three CES diagnostic categories/stages I have seen outside of a single journal article, many journals dont even mention it. Thank you!!
If you’re unsure consult your physician.
We‘ll refrain from doing any diagnostic work or consultation on RUclips comments
@Sara Atif Hello,
I hope your pain is not so bad today. After a discectomy surgery my symptoms immediately improved, including the ones which resembled CES. Since that surgery, I reinjured my back unfortunately, and just narrowly avoided a second surgery. For me, surgery was the answer but I cant say what your best option is. It does get better though! Have you ever had surgery? Did it help? Life has certainly changed and I always feel as though I am one twist away from hurting my back and reaggravating symptoms but even so, things are pretty good now. Hope you are feeling alright and making improvements. :)
excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
I am having lower back pain for more than 8 months . And its very light pain while sitting in bad posture. But the pain is increased when bending down while standing.....is it serious ??
What about pins and needles sensation top and bottom. I do have disk protrusions hitting nerves Cervical and thoracic with spinal stenosis do feel sharp pain in foot legs time to time but no problem peeing or pooping or getting erection maybe Sciatica
My brother had spinal surgery when he was 1.5 months old after that surgery he lost his sensation of bladder and bowel movement and it's been 14 years he is living with same condition. Is there any possible treatment for this?
try to search dr jack kruse’s sun callous
Is cauda equina syndrome just a more severe lumbar radiculopathy?
Thanks for the video
Am at level 2... my issue started gradually and treated for this but no positive response... am living with this stage 2 for 6 years...
any advanced treatment for this?
Sorry to hear Vijay! We're not familiar with any new developments in the neurological sector - sorry!
How is your condition now? Did you have surgery?
Yes pls answer did you go for surgery??
My bladder is ok.i had ibs for very long time.then now I'm have constipation...I'm unable to pull knee up to chest..I have weird feeling in lower butt
I have just been diagnosed with bilateral neural foraminal stenosis L5 S1 and when I sit down my inner thighs start to go numb. I dont have amy pain and my normal problem is pins and needles down my left leg due to nerve compression on the left exiting nerve. No disc herniations or canal issues were seen on the MRI. Could this be CE?
Thanks for de video, I have a question... May be foraminal stenosis the cause of cauda equina syndrome?
I'm after the same question. Have numbess in inner thighs when sitting sometimes. Have you found anything?
I fell yrs ago starting at age 12.then couple more times.sbout 5 total..my big problem is more lumbar then sacrum tailbone
What is stimulation in physiotherapy to cure CES
There’s no PT cure. Role of PT is to recognize S&S of the condition early and refer for surgery ASAP
I have some of these symptoms but am doing decompression therapy at the movement and I am seeing some slight improvement. Do you think I should get surgery or stick to the therapy? I went into the ER when I first got these symptoms and they did some physical examination and said that there wasn’t compression of the spinal chord and at this stage surgery wasn’t required. Idk what to do, any advice?
Can't say, would get a second opinion when in doubt
sir what is your current situation....can you plz tell me??
Hey how are you now?? did it get any better??
I would like to know if you were able to recover without surgery?
@@sarcasticmeeeeee5499 How are you now?? hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
Is edema of foot ankles and thighs common after ces?

I need to know what todo and the drs here will just say u need PT I am scared
I had numbness in my private area and weak leg i can pee normally but not my bowel is it a sign or cuada equina? Few week ago i got a back pain but now its goes away only numbness in my left leg
How are you now?? Did you had surgery??
It's hard to relate to people after having CES, they think being able to drive for 8 hours straight without stopping to go to the bathroom is a super power. It's a small plus with a whole bunch of minuses attached.
I woke up with extreme back pain and weakness in my legs in February which lasted nearly two weeks and had never had back problems before. I was given painkillers and never saw anyone.
Then I had a constant lower back ache, twinges, sciatica and trouble emptying my bladder (I thought the bladder problems weren’t back related). The bladder problems have been constant. In June my back went out again and I was in awful pain again with weakness in legs, numbness and tingling in legs and feet, sciatica and I saw my doctor who did a physical exam and said it was neurological and I referred me for an MRI. It’s been a month so I called to see how long I would have to wait for the MRI and they said they’d not referred me after all.
I was talking to a friend about it today and she put the urinary problems and the back problems together and said I needed to call my doctor just in case it’s CES.
I called doc and explained that my symptoms were ongoing and told them that I was also struggling with emptying my bladder and they said they would have the doctor call me back today so I’m just waiting for a call back.
I always worry I could be wasting doctors time etc but am a little worried now
So what did doctor say? Did you have ces? If yes then how did you recover?
Please let us know what happened. I'm so scared..I'm going through the same thing and I'm waiting for doctors to reach out
How are you now??? Was it CES??
@@camilavillafane9070 Hey how are you now?? Was it CES??
I have saddle anesthesia, loss of strength in my legs- I couldn’t walk last week, I woke up wetting myself the other day. I often have a hard time emptying my bladder usually.
I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow. I believe my GP may suspect this.
Good luck!!
hello hows your condition now miss lilly rose? i hope you’re doing fine
Hey how's your condition now??
Are you okay now? I'm so scared. I'm having similar symptoms and I have ten more days until my neurologist appointment.
@@camilavillafane9070 how are you now
Sofria de dor na região da lombar e fiz um ressonância e apresentou hérnia de disco l5 s1. convivia com a dor, até que um dia comecei a não sentir mais o pé esquerdo, no dia seguinte muito mais dor, e depois anestesia da região genital ( vulva e anus). Tive retenção urinaria e fecal. fiz cirurgia de emergência e voltei a fazer a urinar e defecar. qualquer grau de síndrome cauda equina é cirúrgico.
How r u now ??
Olá, tudo bem? Estou com sintomas parecidos, porém moro nos EUA e aqui para conseguir um MRI na emergência é muito difícil. Você tinha algum outro sintoma nos braços e coluna em geral?
Question for anyone who has this, does your tailbone burn so bad you can't sit, stand or move until it quits locking up? I lock up and I can't do anything. If I barely squat to sit when it's doing that it burns so bad and I can't do anything, it feels like fire in my tailbone and feels like someone is stabbing me a million times a second. I jus5 had spine surgery and it staryed doing this about a week later.
I do stretches.i eat healthy
The most important thing for fellow cyclists to know: in the medical work up, the doctor must rule out other things such as P.N. Also, CES is due to compression and inflammation at the S2 nerve root (despite what the video said).
How can a doctor rule out pudendal neuralgia ?
So I've had saddle and genital numbness, which a numb upper right leg for over 4 days. (The numbness has been definitely improved, with sensation partially returning everyday for the last 2 days) I've been to the hospital and had a MRI scan, which showed no signs of Cauda equina. So I've been doing deep hip flexor stretches and groin stretches, which have relieved the numbness to a point. I know it's obviously early days but I also have no real back pain. What would suggest is wrong with me?
We would advise you to get in touch with our partner from yourphysio.online for individualized advice

@@arg.sherilyn no. The symptoms went away for a while. I now have started to develop numbness on my torso and on both of my legs. Waiting for tests.
@@ButterBean2104 how are you now
@@adityalotankar4306 how are you?? hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
Does 'urinary disturbance' also mean strange sensations? Because I have a herniated disc at L5/S1 and for a couple of days now I've been feeling pain in my bladder as if I had a UTI, but I don't have to pee more frequently, and things just feel strange down in that whole area.
How is your condition now?
@@furkandeniz1370 It's gotten better on its own, thankfully. And by 'on its own' I mean 'by me continuing my back exercises'.
@@janeyannachicken9053 what exercises did you do??
@@sarcasticmeeeeee5499 I have a herniated disk at L5/S1 and did three exercises. Be careful when trying them.
The first gives me nearly instant pain relief: Lie on your back, your feet planted onto the ground, your arms on your sides parallel to your body, palms up. Now you push three things into the floor: Your heels, your upper back and your arms. It's okay if your lower back lifts up a little. Play around with how forcefully and which exact way you push your upper back into the floor. Also, make sure your lower back is lengthening.
To get up just roll onto your side without twisting your spine and push yourself upright with your arm.
The second exercise is to lie on your stomach - this could be painful, it was for me initially, so be careful and ease down slowly. Lengthen your lower back (this is when you might hear some cracking from vertebrae popping into their correct position. For a while I sounded popcorn machine :D) If you can't lie down without significant pain, talk to your doctor, but also keep trying carefully, it'll get better.
So, once the pain has gone down, stretch your arms and your legs and slowly lift your chest and your thighs off the ground. Hold for a bit and slowly lie down again. Keep stretching if you can.
A variation you can do is instead of stretching your arms out you can pull them back, bringing your shoulder blades together.
To get up, push your upper back up from the floor using your arms. Carefully arch your back backwards as far as you can. Hold for a bit, then get onto your knees and all the way up. Don't bend your back forwards.
The third exercise are crunches. Just your normal abdominal exercise.
In a way, there's a third exercise: I run. Forefoot technique (I land on my forefoot, not on my heel), and I run rather stiffly, my hips and shoulders staying pretty square.
Once your symptoms get less you can start moving your spine more, bending to the sides and forward as well as twisting to regain mobility and prevent going too stiff. But be very gentle and give it time.
I hope this helps :)
@@janeyannachicken9053 thankyou so much for replying I'll surely try the exercises you mentioned above and exactly how much time did it take you to recover fully ?? and how bad was your herniated disc?? mine is broad-based protrusion and it's pretty bad it's like almost 6 months and it's just not going away because I never continue the exercises I started exercises but the doctor told me to stop everything and told me to do 2 months bedrest& medicine so I did bedrest and after 2 months he told me that surgery is the only option so after that I tried PT after 8-9 session when it didn't get any better so one of my relatives suggested a chiropractor who has been treating severe cases like mine and all got better after some sessions for me he estimated 7-8 sessions and after that I can get better around 65-70% and for rest I have to do exercises. and again he also told me to do bedrest like kinda bedrest after his adjustments and I'm on my 4th session and my pain comes and goes so right now I can sit and sleep without pain not 100% though it's kinda relief but the main thing is pain comes while walking and standing and now I'm getting cramps like in my right leg too and it just freaking me out I just want this to end now.
Ps:sorry for the long message😂😂😂😂😂
Seen lots of videos on his.I made comments on other videos.yes due to spine trauma due to heavy lifting in my job.Dr.sent me home with pain killers told me take them for a week.no good went back to him sent me for a MRI scan.scan revealed cauda equina surgery needed to sort it.but the Dr.sent results of scan to another hospital.meantime pain horrific sent straight for emergency surgery. The surgeons couldn't find my scan result because sent to wrong hospital. They quickly ordered MRI there.put in tunnel to take scan and the pain was so bad couldn't ly on back with pain.radiologist kept saying you have be still and she wasn't nice.no scan pain horrific. What now can't operate .by a miracle my wife phoned our daughter and she had scan result on her phone sent from other hospital. Sent it to this hospital surgery immediately successful. Sorry to go on.surgeon told me next morning if scan wasn't found I would have lost left leg bowel and urine bags for life and wheelchair bound. Done rehab side op.five yes ago never missed a day as well at home.numb foot and limp but very lucky.that's my story don't delay
What that white flag sign mean?
As stated in the video. What many consider Red flags (bladder/bowel dysfunction) are actually white flags ("a sign of surrender") as it can already be too late to reverse those with surgery
I have this my bowels and bladder go I’ve been treated as if I’m mad , I said I have no feeling in my front passage or bum, it in your head
Radiological findings of caudal equina should confirm the diagnosis so we highly advise to see your GP
I can tell you that I'm starting to hate every medical professionals. I've wasted a lot of money on these guys and now I rely on social media. They need to remember the real reason why they pursue these professions.
I have same symtoms bowel and bladder...mine is retention...weak legs after short time of doing stuff.....pain of al kinds.....it is pure hell......and as far as doctors ...lord i dont have many goods words for them.......i just had an mri findings were clearly narrowing of my spinal canal l4 to s1. With major inflammation noted and one doc wanted to burn some nerves......i asked wil it take away the infla.....and wil it fix the narrowing of my spine...fix the budging disks in 3 spots..........gezz all i got was looked at like i was stupid and did not answer my very important question s.....so no burning nervea today and requested a neurosurgeon......if i had a quater for every doc that would not listen at all to me....wow a new trk for sure..
I ha e had numerous MRIs done of lumbar and cervical spines. I have had on and off bladder incontinence for years. Mostly on now with inability at times to hold bladder and bowel movements. After seeing spinal and neuro surgeons, most recently, in November 2019, his opinion, was that mild to moderate stenosis was not Cauda Equina Syndrome. A visit to my neurologist, also seemed to indicate no CES. But i also have many cervical issues too. From what i read, the cervical discs with facet joint arthritis a d stenosis can affect bladder and bowel incontinence. I also have pretty extensive degeneration disc disease. Very thin disc material at many locations. And lets add, erictile dysfunction to the mix. Im 68 years old. Taking Prozac and now Lyrica for the chronic pain which has evolved into fibromyalgia. Was taking Gabapentin, but was switched to Lyrica. The ED can be result of the prozac. I tried non surgical decompression therapy with the dx9000 machine in the fall of 2019. Helped a little with my neck, but after the 3rd session , i experienced a complete loss of bladder and peed my pants. The decompression sessions were stopped on the lumbar spine. It SUX to be me right now. The typical medical doctors, know only what is in their immediate field. It is up to YOU to seek the answers best you can. CES is seriuos shit.
Physiotutors they don’t listen to me they say it’s crones
Is it possible to have a CES that have low semen and weak legs?

How is he now?
i was operated at stage 3
when i was operated i am not paralizyed person but after three months of operation i get some weakness in my leg so i used one cane after i 2 months i am totally paralyzed , i am using 2 canes with a very weakness in my legs , i cant walk even with canes only a fwe seconds and become very tired
can you help me please to improve my walk?
we advise you consult with a physiotherapist near you
Hey are you able to walk now??
Have acid trips and it will help the nerves reconnect. I have managed to undo about 90% of the damage having a trip every month or so.
How to get rid from this 😭😭.
It's an emergency surgery that should take place within 48h as otherwise symptoms are mostly irreversible!
In most cases better than being paraplegic
I was level 2
Hope you recovered well!

@@sarcasticmeeeeee5499 Hey how are you now?? Have you had CES
I have lower back pain since 2 months
And electric shock like feeling in legs
Also I have constantly urge to urinate
Can it be cos.having it since around 15 days.My age is 15
It is possible, I’m also here researching my symptoms and this is what I ended up with with 😢. I also started with minor, lower pack pain, n I’m familiar to the electric shock feeling that runs thru your legs at times, n also had leg weakness n other symptoms to I’m positive it’s CES 🤦♂️ . I will be making and appointment with my chiropractor and request to get and MRI n be tested for CES, n if that’s the cause for my back problems. I suggest, you put more thought into it, if your are certain you have these symptoms let your parents know of what your going thru n how you been feeling m what you suspect it could be, in relation to your symptoms n maybe convince them to make an appointment for you to get tested for CES, n together seek help before it get worse or you end up paralyzed. That is the end result for this, unable to move your lower body. I know your only 15 but you will have to make the best effort to make them believe.
@@marcoantonio4145 hello, whats your prognosis now? and can you describe back pain and leg weakness in a detailed way? like, do you often have back pain or does your back feel tired? and your leg weakness, meaning your leg feels tired or your leg just couldnt stand?
@@hazelnuteyes Alaska, sorry for replying a bit late.
What it turned out to be was a herniated disc. My issues was in my lower lower back. Right above the crack lol. So I had a lower back disc pinching a nerved.
It was something in which the symptoms started of slowly and over time by performing work they became more noticeable and the pain grew more. What I would mostly feel the most was pain,(which is when the pinching was occurring, this would happen after I lifted some heavy or when certain movements were performed). Sometimes when laying down, sitting/driving, turning/twisting, bending down, or just walking. The pain varies depending on what movement I did as well as what work I performed prior to that day. Did I lift heavy? Sleep wrong? Etc. the pain was also follow by numbness in my lower back were the pain was felt. It would also occur behind in my left leg or right left below the buttocks it would all depend on what position I was in or movement I was doing. Another common symptom was an electric shock type feeling, I would feel it in my back sometimes alone with the pain or numbness or alone. It was also felt in the back of my legs in the upper leg parts. So behind, on the bottom of my buttocks. I would felt numbness and the electric shock feeling going down my legs nerves. Which is probably cause by my spinal nerve being pinched. Some minor symptoms we’re feeling leg drops. So as I would walk I would randomly, step with my next foot, n it would feel as if that whole leg when to sleep for 1 sec. to the point where my leg would bent a lil before it was able to support me back up before actually falling or having to stand on one leg.
However I did have a major back injury like 5 years ago which I feel like it related to this n how I developed it or got it. I also learned the herniated disc are very common back injury, which is most common in people who’s job involves lifting heavy, using your back a lot, or people who injury themselves lifting some heavy. It can also be self treated through proper therapy exercises, which focus on stretching to relief the pain, and straighten you back n nerves.
@@hazelnuteyes
So are you having/feeling any common or different symptoms, and what do you suspect it is?
@@marcoantonio4145 i see. well then mine was actually a uti but somehow my brain interpreted that i couldnt feel my bladder and no sensation of urine passing and it freaked me out. i googled this symptom of mine and i came down to this scary ces thing. i cried for days and i went to several doctors but they all tell me im normal. i was convinced i wasnt. after i youtube ces i realized ces is a total loss sensation and function of the lower part of the body . i went to see a neurologist and we carried out some basic neuro/nerves test and they did an ultrasound of my bladder and everything came out normal. the neurologist concluded that he thinks theres nothing wrong w me and he said im a perfectly healthy young lady. he told me this could be anxiety and depression. i didnt believe it at first. my mum forced me to see a psychiatrist and they gave me medications to calm me down. i was diagnosed w mild depression, mild anxiety and illness anxiety. surprisingly i could feel my bladder again…the mind really controls how our body function. i learned it the hard way: never googling my symptoms again and see a doctor right away. but getting myself educated about ces is actually good bc ive never heard of it my entire life bc its very rare. please stay safe and please take care of your health. sorry for the long message. i just wanna share my message! im glad we both are healthy and okay now.
Wow i guess i am stage 3 and the doctors stil just dont care......i dont get it!!!!! I am taking this vid to all doctor i see from now on......i am tied of living in pure hell.
Sorry to hear Tammy! Wish you all the best!
Tammy Murphy, a Devils Disease imposed upon a human being by careless and thoughtless Anethesiologists. A shamefully unforgiving use of the "white coat code of silence" was used in this video. Although patients, families and now lawyers are wiser to the FDIA (Fictitious Disease Imposed upon Another) is of legal cause for negligent malpractice in iotrogenic harm. To error is human, "God Hands" must be transparent at the least in order to keep all moral and ethical standards in Human Health Sciences and subsequent enforcement of mandatory adequate pain care.
@@Physiotutors by the explanation marks used is an insult to Tammy and millions of others who suffer with this disease usually along side Adhesive Arachnoiditis also a progressive and very often of iotrogenic causation. References; www.theburtonreport.com/infspine/MinInvasNeurotoxSub.htm

Both Adhesive Arachnoiditis and Cauda Equina Syndrome are NO longer RARE and need treatment for the millions that suffer from this tragic and very often of iotrogenic causation.
Thanking Physiotutors in advance for taking this given opportunity to learn what's long been necessary about this spinal disease.
This is so interesting, we are learning about bowel movements that have their funcition affected because of damaged nerves.
I read a lot of personal attacks of people that mock chriropractors that states that for a good health you require healthy nerves. Each nerve is responsible for a determined part in the body and a good physical chiropractor healthcare can heal you from a lot of problems. And then you need to take care of your nutrition.
Please can you make a video about the differences of a grain free dog food? Grains like the gluten causes leaky gut in humans. Can this happens in pets too? It is recomended a raw diet? Dry food is dehydrating for dogs and degenerative disc disease is basically dehydration of the discs. Degenarative disc desease.
we cannot make a video on that. Thats totally out of our scope of practice
I suggest you do research into actual medical literature and research, not pseudoscientific sources or websites. Leaky gut is not a real condition and has little to no logical science backing it up.
Pseudosciences like chiropractic therapy (and even osteopathy to an extent) and vitamins really serve only a single purpose. And that is reassurance in histrionic patients who like to feel better. This is the same reason why people tend to love vitamin B12, a bright red appealing fancy looking supplement, most of which is excreted through urine.
If you want to be healthy, eat healthy (50% green vegetables, 25% protein (vegan is fine if you manage your micronutrients), and 25% carbs) and exercise. Complete PT and weight training exercise. Manage your actual medications with modern medicine.
I presume that twitching in the anus and genital area is the start of it. I can go toilet fine atm and I’ve got a l5 s1 disc prolapse/bulge.
What about increasing sciatica pain and loss of use of legs due to proprioception? My husband had just the increasing sciatic pain down both legs over a three week period. Turns out he had an infection pressing on his spinal cord that was missed by the surgeon’s staff at 6 weeks post op back reconstruction T-8 to S-1.
