Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I had TCS with Dr. . It was a breeze. So much reversed instantly and I was off of pain meds in less than a week.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 How long were you in the hospital? How long till he sat you up after surgery? And when was your follow up? Did you have stitches that needed removal or something else? I'm having surgery with him on. My 23 so anything you can tell me would be fantastic and greatly appreciated!!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 If you have anything that was done within the las six months or within the year he prefers those. I had nothing new just all paperwork and such from 2008. But he sent me for a MRI face down and up. He also sent me for xrays, CT, urodynamics study, blood work, and a lumbar puncture done by him, and I think that was it. But be prepared. He is always hours late for your appointment and ever visit I've had it's been almost an hr or more that he talks to you checks you out treatment plans etc. He is the best dr I have met and I've met tons I mean I've visited at least 7 Neurosurgen alone not to mention other doctors and he truly is the best hands down worth the wait. You can call make and appt and if your traveling make plans to stay a hotel at least one day there's Marriott's 5 min from his office. Because sometimes he can schedule your MRI that day or next morning and other tests and ten see you again so you don't have to travel a lot back and forth. It happened to me twice so I give my self two days pay for one knowing if I need another I have it after the one. Plus day of your appt don't be afraid to call and ask if he's running late most times it's due to him having Emergancy surgeries and such that he falls behind. Let me know if you decide to make an appt This message was sent from s' iPhone. Apologies if it does not format corectly. > Thanks . What type of tests does he require?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 why would a lumbar puncture be necessary and I thought it was not a good thing to do if you have a tethered cord? Did it hurt? > > > > > > > > > > > Anyone have TCS with either Dr. and how was your outcome? > > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 He does it to check the pressure because alot of time pressue and fluid can mimic a tethered cord being symptomatic but really you just need a shunt back their instead bc if that's the problem and you just keep have cord releases then you never fix the problem. Not everyone gets one it depends on your symptoms have long you've felt that way etc. And no it doesn't hurt its kinda like an epidural but they numb you before they go in and it's mostly feels like pressure as if was pushing really deep in your back. Depending on your history if you ever had a spinal leak or spinal headache then you might do an over night hospital stay just to make you more comfortable till you can walk again and sit up and such.
