I was looking over my neuro records and saw that I scored 8/10 on the tethered cord scale questionnaire. Is 8 high on the scale for suggesting tethered cord is a high possibility or does it lean toward tethered cord being unlikely?
Almost exactly the questions I answered. It was a form I filled out before my first appointment and sent back in the mail. They never mentioned it and none of my scans appear to go down quite far enough to see where I would imagine the end of the cord would be.
My neice does have tethered cord as well as Chiari. I'm not sure if this would increase the likelihood as well?
I had a rather unsightly mole removed about 10 years ago... My daughter has the hairy patch I have seen described as well.
I'm not doing too bad. Just been having more back and leg pain lately. It's been about 9 months since I had ACDF surgery and the first few months were a bit tough but the headaches, balance and motor skills were somewhat better. Now those symptoms have crept back and a few new symptoms have started as well.
I just don't want to consider decompression if there may be another source of these issues.
how have you guys been? I have been so tired I haven't been on much at all lately... Totally out of the loop!
Thank you for the kind words and advice. It is always greatly appreciated!
