Progressive spinal cord/spinal nerve root compression/degenerative disorder. MRI spine will help in diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I have worked through your query in detail.
As per your symptoms, the possibility of cauda equina syndrome is very high.
This occurs due to compression of lumosacral spinal nerves.
The underlying cause has to be evaluated. Spinal canal stenosis or osteoarthritis can be responsible.
For confirmation, I advice you to get an MRI scan of the lumbosacral region.
Please check with your neurologist if he shares my point of view and if can prescribe this workup to you.
Further management if any is based on test reports.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.


I can't even begin to thank you! We have asked about this for a very long time and have once again, been diverted to "no, we don't think your spine has anything to do with it." Reason we had even considered it is I took a 30 foot fall backwards down a flight of steps after my brain injury which broke my tail bone pretty much in half and sustained a serious concussion. It would not XXXXXXX me in the least you are correct, which we have told every doctor about every injury to my tail bone, and spine since I was 8 years old. In your opinion, what kind of neurologist should I see?
Neurosurgeon followed by Orthopedic surgeon
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.
I have worked through your query once again in detail.
CES can present both in acute form or with a protracted course.
CES is a sequel to traumatic spine injury in most cases and it's consideration should never be undervalued, especially in view of neurological and genitourinary symptoms shown by you.
I advise you to report (with an MRI scan latest) To a Neurosurgeon followed by an Orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion.
Please check with your physician if he shares my point of view.
Further management if any is based on test reports.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
