Tethered cord surgery results

January 13, 2008

I know this has been asked before, and I am searching

the archives for info, but I am now in the decision

stage about my tethered cord surgery.

I am wondering what symptoms you had before tethered

cord surgery that were alleviated after surgery.

How long after surgery did you see the difference.

What did not go away that you were hoping would go

away.

How long before you were able to drive, get back to

somewhat normal activity, etc.

I was decompressed in 2005. The symptoms I have that

seem to be related are:

-lower back pain that exercise won't relieve

-chronic daily headache that slips into migraine

-back of the head pain and pull-down pressure

-tinnitus

-dizziness

-bladder issues (every 45 min to hour)

-excessive water retention

-leg and foot pain is not bad but happens by surprise

-sometimes my leg disconnects, not a drop attack, just

disconnects

(Yes, I have had the tether evaluation and

urodynamics.)

Thanks, in advance,

Hanna
