Cauda Equina Syndrome Association: Interview with Neurosurgeon Nisaharan Srikandarajah

[@HighTen_Melanie]

The background music is very annoying and not necessary. It spoils the interview.

[@caudaequinachampionscharit2694]

Thank you for your comment - this is helpful - we will re do with subtitles as well!

[@privateuser3859]

Difficult to discern voice audio with music so loud.

[@ralphhodgson5284]

Very good, clear concise and informative video. Could be improved if the soundtrack volume was turned down as the music obscures what's being said at some points in the interview.

[@caudaequinachampionscharit2694]

Thank you - we will address this . We’ve had a few comments saying the same !

[@jennyauxier7481]

Great video, nice to see this expert talking about the need for integration of care for those of us living with this condition.

My Cauda Equina Syndrome was caused by a virus so there is nothing to see on imaging. Other than the absence of back injury, I present absolutely classic CES. I got sick 8 years ago. My bowels came back to functionality, but my bladder dis not. My legs are very weak and I am mostly bed bound with pain. Thank you for a well done presentation. Look forward to seeing the results of your work. Thank you!

[@melliehay982]

Such a really good interview, so informative and he explained ces in understandable detail. Saving this video to help explain to DWP.

I learnt so much from him!

I am an in-complete CES suffer. Just wanted to add my comment and say that this video was very good and also very helpful

[@tadams7447]

Ditch the bop-bop-bop-bop loud background music! Impossible to clearly hear him speak! I couldn't get past the 3 minute mark for the loud, annoying, background noise. So far did not hear anything different than any other source on CES.

Most enlightening video I have all the symptoms of CES and is seeking to address it urgently and thanks

[@anitahendrix7573]

I've had back pain for 5 years now its now causing my legs to have pain when i walk but getting no help from my doctors i need help, now effecting my legs

[@kellyofthehead]

10:56 I had it twice last year, one surgery then 3 weeks later it happened again. It was thr worst time of my life! I was left after a positive mri scan, they failed to send me anywhere. 15 days later i had to call an ambulance as i became incontinent and numb, severe pain and couldn't feel my right foot. I have issues with S1/L5 as well as L4/L3/L2 and severe spinal stenosis. I'm 44 and now very limited in what i can do. I had only two physiotherapist appointments and thats it!

Good day, after my microdiscetomy L5S1 surgery last july 29,2021 im having my cauda equina syndrome. Thankfully i can walk, but right now im doing my straight catheter in order for me to pass urine. After 6months i will be going back for mg urodynamics exam. I just want to ask how do i be able to get back my urination, i have the sensation if my bladder is full but it needs a catheter to be able to drain it and thats what im doing in now.

[@Shivakrishna61]
