I survived encephalitis in 1995. I received absolutely no after care or treatment. Not even physical therapy. I had to learn to walk, talk and learn all on my own at the age of 14. Today, I still am working through the traumas of not just receiving no care or assistance, but also the horrors of the care I received while hospitalized and before the spinal tap that confirmed my illness. I was accused of being promiscuous, “faking” and was even told at times to “shut up” when I was in excruciating pain. I eventually feel into the worst stage- coma and paralysis. I wish I could have at least received physical therapy. Keep the good work. In the states we have a long way to go with our health care system and empathy is one

We went to the ER 5 days in a row , 5 ER VISTS until they finally took us seriously! Now my husband is paralyzed.

How is cauda equina syndrome diagnosed ? Symptom based ?

*promo sm* 😠

i have just had surgery for this at 22 and i am so grateful that i don’t think i will have long lasting effects! i was treated terribly and will be pursuing legal action as well :)

Major trauma is any injury that has the potential to cause prolonged disability or death. There are many causes of major trauma, blunt and penetrating, including falls, motor vehicle collisions, stabbing wounds, and gunshot wounds. Depending on the severity of injury, quickness of management, and transportation to an appropriate medical facility (called a trauma center), may be necessary to prevent loss of life or limb. The initial assessment is critical, and involves a physical evaluation, and also may include the use of imaging tools to determine the types of injuries accurately, and to formulate a course of treatment. In 2002, unintentional and intentional injuries were the fifth and seventh leading causes of deaths worldwide, accounting for 6.23% and 2.84% of all deaths. For research purposes, the definition often is based on an Injury Severity Score (ISS) of greater than 15.

I have it I was paralyzed 12/24/17. I was u paralyzed on Christmas. It's really hard living with something and no one can help.

Where are you located? I have a similar situation with cauda equina syndrome.

T3. T 4. T 8. You tell me which one it was on my mom. She was paraplegic. No function below the waist. Totally preventable

✝️🙋🏿‍♀️🤣🫡🫡🫡🫡📞. One rings dingy

A slow paralyzation as blood flows into the space of the spine compressing all nerves and paralyzation dependent upon the vertebrae that the clot manifested itself on. No. I don’t take blood thinners.

John Is there anyone I can talk to I'm very desperate sir. I am alone and I have nothing else left no hope nothing what can I do sir? I'm giving up...

Whats so difficult about it? Are you saying it's a nightmare trying to bring legal action ?.

Is it no win no fee ?.

I've been told i have CES symptoms but nothing is being done about it, still suffering, been suffering for decades and i just cant seem to get help.

Hello, love the work. From what you said, I think you might be interested in this channel 👉 #drjohnaking. I find him instructional and practical.

I am suffering cauda equina syndromes my surgery late by doctors and I am not recover after surgery my surgery done 3month before

I had slow onset from 21 when my *down there* went numb. Despites many doctor visits I was told it was nothing. as time went on I got sciatica.. Again doctor said it was all my head and even recommended antidepressants. Then I got cramp fasciculations and by the time I was 27 I couldn't walk, pee or sleep. luckily I pretty much made a full recovery after surgery apart from a few patches of numbness and twitching. I went to A&E day before NYE where they did an mri and ultrasound of my bladder. The doctor rang me on new years eve saying pack a bag an ambulance is on its way. if it wasn't for him god knows what my life would be like now.

jump to : married before, no one’s fault, divorced now. Loser gets to be loser, criminals get to wash their hands off quickly. Courts win!!! No fault. Damn, are these people humans , or has humanity come to this pathetic times!!??? Maybe so, justice is blinded, deaf and dumb. What can we expect. Marriages are a joke. Some seriously crooked criminals live peacefully married lives making business out of it. Only humans can bring such destruction upon each other.

and then the marriage will lost its meaning and purpose and so just dont get marriage

so helpful thank you 🙏

This is Real!!!!

I feel like I am sitting on a pair of rolled up socks. Does that jive with usual symptoms of Cauda Equina?

Same thing happened to me in America but trying to get representation in California has been like looking for Noah's Ark, the ignorance from the legal side in CES is unbelievable when they should be very easy cases where lawyers can be making huge recoveries but instead CES cases are static. The way I see it is a patient goes to surgery with 2 arms and comes out with one. Yes surgeon R. Bagheri in San Diego ruin me for life. I go in for Laminectomy surgery and once home I was rushed to hospital for another surgery one day later because I was leaking spinal fluid, it was found that the surgeon left two small holes in my Dura. During recovery of second surgery that Dr. Bagheri also did the pain in my lower back was unbelievable, I started with symptoms of Cauda Equina Syndrome and my wife look the type of symptoms I was getting in the WWW and her inquiries showed that the symptoms I had were related to CES. He stated that the symptoms I had were due to the anesthesia and that they should clear out in months. My regular check ups with Dr Bagheri was the same thing "give it a couple of months and symptoms should come back to normal" he continued the same lying scheme and at one year he sends me back to work. My boss was very patient because I was really in no shape to go back to work but I continue working because we needed the money. Well the symptoms after 9 years are just getting worse, I can't work because I can only walk a few steps then I need to rest by either sitting down or lying down. I only wish there was more legal awareness in the US for CES but there is not.

This guy has sciatica for a year. It didn't come out of nowhere. I'm afraid the reason is simple we don't look after our spines. How many people can't touch their toes. Lift their bodyweight off the floor easily. We are a obscenely deconditioned species as a whole. These are the consequences.

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

hi i really want to know more and more about cauda equina.am in Ghana and am also suffring from canda equina.i have under gone a surgery for seven months now but still can't walk nor stand.pls help me out.what do i need to do regain my walking back.

2010_ * I HAD A MICRODISCECTOMY ENDED IN A BOTCHED SURGERY- THE DOCTOR WOULD NOT EVEN TELL ME WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY BODY I HAD TO GOOGLE THE WORD S

Who and How does someone diagnose this condition?

Or sometimes your body just gives out! I have Cauda Equina Syndrome and never used anyone...just bucked up and kept going!

Just an advert for Maya and her outfit what a pathetic stunt

Thank you for sharing your story, my mum has had Cauda Equina syndrome since 2000 (when I was only a baby) and like you she had no reason for it to happen. It can be tough to deal with at times as it is so rare and so little is known about it that it is hard for others to understand it - even I learn new things about it now, when I've lived with someone with it for 18 years! Hopefully more can be learnt about the condition over time, and more support can be provided for it. Best wishes to you and anyone else with the condition :)
