Feet/leg issues/ loss of bladder control/ birthmark on lower back/sacral dimpling

[Guest guest]

Jenni,

Regarding the ultrasound-for some reason the recommended test to rule out

tethered cord on all the tethered cord websites is an MRI. I am not sure if

that can see more than the ultrasound. Our daughter had to be sedated for the

MRI so I definitely would have preferred the ultrasound. We are so fortunate

that our daughter was diagnosed can can be treated.

Her condition is very rare and I am sure that most of the members on this

group whose children have a club foot and sacral dimpling are fine....always

better to be on the safe side just to check things out though. Our daughter has

lost some sensation on her foot and it is slowly effecting other areas. She

will have surgery in a few weeks that will hopefully get back some sensation.

They said without the surgery the tethered cord will keep following up her legs

until they would no longer work.

Congratulations on your daughter,

Holly
