My Daughter had 3 visits to A&E over a period of 5 days and her GP rang A&E to point out the Red Flags and ask for Orthopaedic involvment and an MRI. All of this was ignored during visits 1 & 2 and even disparaged by the Triage Nurse at 2 visits " GP;s don;t understand how we work" " We dont use MRI for diagnosis". 1st visit : "Go home rest & take painkillers, Visit 2: " It is a bad urine infection so take antibiotics (infection which had disappeared when tested the next day?) 3rd visit : Examined properly, CES suspected,,Orth consult and MRI confirmed CES followed by emergency surgery. Even at the 3rd visit left sat 3 hours in pain,after Triage before being seen then 2 more hours before seeing orthopaedic doctor then urgently transferred 25 miles for an MRI and surgery the next day.

I had surgery of ces two months before still how much time does it takes to pass urine with out any obstacles ( i had lost sensation to pass urine)

[@joncarolyn]

Have acid trips and it will help the nerves reconnect. I have managed to undo about 90% of the damage having a trip every month or so.

Treatment of couda equina syndrome???

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Hi! The treatment is Emergency MRI which if positive for Cauda Equina requires Emergency orthopaedic surgery to decompress the Cauda Equina. Thank you!
