My daughter had surgery to detether her spinal cord 5 years ago. She has had chronic back pain for the past 3 yrs. I know they were not able to release all the nerves that were tethered at the time of the first surgery and that she would need another surgery later on. She is a very active 13 yr old girl. She has been a cheerleader for the past few years and does a lot of tumbling. However her back pain has been getting worse and worse. She is not having any new bladder issues or new leg weakness or tingling. Has anyone else had chronic back pain after surgery?
HI....If this is a new sensation I would call the NS and not wait and let them make the call to have u wait till Sept, or have u come in sooner.
Since the nevre was cut...it can not be repaired.....and only ur NS can determine to what extent u should have these symptoms.
U may want to join the chiari forum as there r members like myself with TC.....
