    Hello Dr. Donald,

    Its been a long time since I ask for your consultation for my mother. Until now she is still carrying her suprapubic catheter. Just want to ask if my mother is allowed to use an electric massager just to help her muscles and lessen the feeling of tightness and tingling on her leg to foot due to the effect of cauda equina syndrome?

    Please advice us if this can help ease the pain in her legs?

    Thank you

    Thank you Doc Corenman, this medicine will not affect the kidney’s? Is it okay to take if necessary, not everyday?

    Doc, would like to ask for your advice on how to help lessen the tingling feeling my mother experiencing right now? Any prescription you can recommend to calm her nerves?

    Any suggestions and advice would be a big help doc, so that my mom can rest well at night without experiencing pain.

    Thank you!

    Rebecca

    As of now, she doesnt complain more of tingling sensation in her left leg, she can feel the pain of her slippers already, she can feel the pinch from her butt to foot already. Is this a sign of recovery?

    But, what she complains now is the painful tingling, a nerve running through her vagina and rectum part. Is this a sign of SLOW healing process also? this is the area where the last symptoms of cauda equina discovered, when she already lose her bladder and bowel signals.

    I’m hoping that even she feel the pain of the nerve which like running to her vagina and rectum is part of the recovery stage. That this means that her bladder and bowel nerves are slowly healing?

    Hi Dr. Corenman,

    Good day! I just want to ask regarding the recovery timeframe of my mother who has a cauda equina sydrome with bladder and bowel incontenence. You said that we will know the recovery time within a year, but on February 2019, it will be her 2nd year suffering from the incontenence and until now she has a suprapubic catheter.

    How we will know the progress of her recovery, Dr? What measurements, or observations can we consider that she is still on a recovery stage?

    Hoping for your response, Dr.

    Thank you,

    Rebecca

    I wish I can send some MRI results and films we have before and after the surgery. Dr. Donald, thank you so much for your advice, this is a big help for us and to my mother to lessen her stress in dealing with this disease. Its been a year and a half since she undergo surgery, as of now she has a suprapubic catheter. We will wait and continue to hope that time will come for my mother’s full recovery. Thank you so much, and God bless you. Can’t thank you enough for your help doc. I hope you can still help people who needs your professional advice.
