I am only 17 and diagnosed with TCS (Tethered Cord Syndrome). I had it operated on and neurosurgeon said the recovery shouldnt bother me that bad. It's been 6 months now and my back hurts just about every day and now when a twist or turn it feels like my spine is grinding together. I am afraid to go back to the doctor b/c there prolly isnt anything he can do. I was just wondering about the rest of you. It's a really long drive for my parents and I feel bad if we go back and he says the pain I am experiencing is normal. I thought my pain tolerance was pretty high but I am starting to wonder. Any comment would be grately appreciated!

Just a thought.. But can you call your Dr's office and ask to speak to your doctor.. You could explain your situation and at that time he can decide if you need to be seen or can wait..
Best of luck and I hope you will get an answer soon..
