tethered spine
by gan1982, Jan 21, 2009 07:29PM
Yes my name is jason and i have been diagnosed with a tethered spine when i was about twenty one. I had three surgeries and also had gotten spinal meningitis. My bladder doesn't function properly and neither does my bowels. I also am prone to urinary infections because i have to self cath my self every time i have to go. I am twenty six now and it seems like my problems have gotten worse i really have trouble holding my urine it seems like i can not get to the bathroom fast enough. I have migraines if i over do myself doing normally activities. I recently had a not come up on the left side of my neck and i have trouble swollowing can this be related i do have a doctors apointment but i am worried and cant seem to wait to find out. also is there any treatments out there to take care of any of my problems i would apreciate it for some info.

We have a chiari forum here on MedHelp...u may find others that can offer support and similar info.
Our number one issues we inform all is to find a dr that is a specialist in the field of chiari.Most if not all chiari drs also treat related conditions like syringomyelia and tethered cord.
I hope to see u in the chiari forum.
Good luck
Godspeed
