Conus Medullaris Syndrome

Thanks for the information. My symptoms follow the cauda equina also. My diagnosis is Chronic Arachnoiditis with a cyst between the levels of L/2 and S/2. I have learned more on this forum than my Dr even knows about spinal cord injuries.From what I have learned the cyst is inside of my spinal cord between those levels. I was shown the MRI and it looks like everything is pinched to the side inside of my spinal cord pretty much from those levels, everything was stuck together is what the Neurosurgeon said.

Rohbart, tj, kilgotetrout, had you each had a traumatic injury before your symptoms began?

So does this affect your upper body as well? Firing all the muscles you can is very important. I hope you find a good P.T., core muscles are huge. All you can do is put in your best effort, while being safe.
I started with a foley indwelling, with my bag hanging off my walker, so I didn't have any stimulation, would be interested what kind of procedure they recommend. They had a belt around me during gait training, and had me between parallel bars. It's early on, you will improve. Wish you well in the New Year

Thanks, all. It sounds like it always started with a problem, but then turned into a bigger problem.

I have Conus Medullaris Syndrome resultant of a L1 burst fracture a few years back.  Ask anything.
