Thank you for posting this!!! I’ve been supporting a family member with CES, I’m also a medical professional. I’ve had to fight the system, HARD!, go privately, & be VERY proactive. My family member would have been dead had I not walked the past 2 years alongside them. Good luck! Your life IS valuable!

It's 2019 and I am a complete idiopathic CES patient. No back injury, best guess among the doctors was a virus. I became ill in 2014. This is a very depressing presentation, but a very important one. I will never be able to work again, and I severely struggle with finding any point in being alive yo be honest. Anywsy, good luck to all who find this💗

Comprehensive presentation. Bravo!

I got it due to A FAILED BACK SURGERY A MICRODISCECTOMY 2010 . I HAVE NO FEELING IN SADDLE REGION . THAT DOCTOR- BUTCHERED ME THAT DAY - HE - UNMANNED ME I HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE DUE TO SELF CAPHATERISATION . THE WORST THING IS THE PAIN OF WALKING , I CAN NOT WALK MORE THAN 15 MINS ON THE LEVEL , I GO SHOPPING FOR BASICS I CANT PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN. AND I M SWEATING LIKE CRAZY FROM THE PAIN . AND I M ON FENTANYL PAIN MEDICATIONS, AND CODINE MEDICATIONS AND ANTIBIOTICS EVERY MONTH FOR UTI INFECTIONS ARE HORRIBLE THEN IT TRAVELS IN TO THE KIDNEYS AND IT WEARS YOU DO TO NOTHING

Great point, I have ignored simptoms for near to 36hrs, then Googled simptoms a bit, got scared shitless after realizing what I might have and what are possible long term consequences. Went to the local emergency doctor who quickly sent me to the proper emergency hospital and had MRI within next 12hrs and was in surgery within next 6 hours. All in all, just over 48hrs from onset of first symptoms, but knowing I could still (barely) urinate myself and empty my bladder I suppose I was still CESI, but it was becoming worse and worse. If I recognized early symptoms I would have probably had surgery within 12 hours from early symptoms with less damage. Now it's wait and see recovery time, all of this happened less than 2 weeks ago.

This is scary stuff, my right thigh has been numb for about 5 years.

Cauda equina can come on slowly. I have microscopic blood in my urine that's worse after a year, one leg used to go out, now either one will give way, I'm Shakey going down stairs, heavy going up feet feel detached, left leg goes numb, right goes numb sometimes, and I have weakness defecating and either no urgency to urinate when I'm full and urgency when I'm not. I have L4-L5 Central broad based disc protrusion with moderate stenosis. My urologist is on top of my spine Dr. Hopefully I'll get this taken care of soon before I lose all feeling.

@@sarcasticmeeeeee5499 never but I'm not worried about my back because my neck is what scares me. I was damaged from an accident. I'll sure tell you. I am way more appreciative of what I do have but I also have PTSD I'm scared about the neck thing. On a lighter note my first name is sarcasm. Check out my KZread Mr adventure and my new boyfriend. Look under my name. I don't really do anything on KZread but if you like sarcasm let's laugh instead.😘😁 not like I'm trying to get people watching it. I think it has a couple views but you have my REAL name🤘
