Dearheart, if you are having bowel and bladder problems this is SEVERE! ANY time those are effected, you could be in trouble!

I think you're looking at surgery, and probably the sooner the better. Cauda Equina syndrom is nothing to sneeze at. And you CERTAINLY don't want that to become permanent!!

MAKE SURE YOU TELL YOUR SURGEON about the bowel and bladder symptoms!!! He has GOT to know! Make that your FIRST STATEMENT! I want him to hear that first! And I'm not kidding! He's got to know that and i want him to remember that!

I wish you the very best my friend --- God bless you and PLEASE take care. Let us know what happens, okay? Hugs, Lee
