Spinal cord tethering and lipoma

Spinal cord tethering and lipoma

I am a 50 year old female who had never had a back pain in my life until 2 years ago.  It was discovered I had a tethered cord and lipoma, etc. since birth with no symptoms until then.  I had 3 surgeries with the third one detethering the cord.  This left me incontinent and without feeling in about 80% of my lower body.  I just found out that it appears that the cord is retethering which is causing pain in the 20% of my lower body I can actually feel.  Based on my personal history, I have to disagree with previous posters that spinal cord tethering should not be considered in their child's case.
