spinal stenosis
Once I realized I had spinal stenosis and cauda equina syndrome early in the year, I added a work-up for this to the lizajane charts. I had been worked up at Hospital for Joint Disease in NY, the Mayo Clinic, and seen the esteemed Dr Latov. Yet no one ordered an mri to look for spinal stenosis. Back pain, bladder/bowel symptoms, and neuropathic changes spells cauda equina, but you don't need to have 10+ symptoms to problems from spinal stenosis.
Glad he was diagnosed. Is surgery being recommended?
