What everyone working with back pain needs to know about Cauda equina syndrome
Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare condition that affects the nerves in the spine supplying the bladder, bowel and sexual function. Identification and subsequent urgent action is required to avoid permanent damage to these essential organs. Delays in diagnosis can have devastating and life changing consequences for patients and result in high cost negligence claims.
This one hour webinar will be of interest to any health professional treating patients with low back pain, particularly those seeing this patient group in pre-surgical settings. We cover:
• Definition of Cauda Equina Syndrome
• Presenting Signs and symptoms
• Examination for CES
• Evidence relating to CES
• Pathways of Care
• Medico-legal issues relating to CES

Thank you for your time and energy. Missed the window. Not officially diagnosed YET, but almost all else has been ruled out. That, and I'm very intuitive. I know things. Pretty sure I've been blessed with this.🙄 No fear. I'm a warrior. Gonna fight like hell to live a somewhat normal life. Focus on the healing, not the the past. 'Don't look back, you're not going that way'..... ❤️🙏

8 yrs of being ignored and told I must be drug seeking. I swear the operation I had to save me from an incarcerated femoral hernia set off the nerve pain. It got bad about 2 yrs later and from then on my legs began to become more neuropathic. I was told the reason for urinary and bowl issues was lack of water (I drink plenty) and I have a double ureter anomaly. So again, blown off. Thank you for explaining where I am at now, even though I have to wait till the middle of August to see a neurosurgeon, I finally feel validated.
Safety netting is worth nothing if you know they have incomplete cauda equina then it's your job to make sure they don't go on to develop complete cauda equina. don't leave them waiting for the worst thing to happen to them.
