    Re: Cauda Equina symptons, Clear MRI

    Hi,

    I think it is a more pain induced weakness...i get a terrible pain from the SI joint that goes straight down my leg. Although my right leg is nowhere near as strong as my left. I think the docs just looked at the Wikipedia reference-linkmri for the nerve compression, saw it wasn't there and lost interest. Thats why I'm actually looking forward to my physio as I hope to get some answers.

    There is no one involved at the moment as I have no contact with doctors or physios...I am waiting on my Nhs appointment, that is why I came on here.

    Could my issues with my Si joint and these prolapsed discs cause all this? Anyone else have similiar issues? Thanks

    Re: Cauda Equina symptons, Clear MRI

    if their is referal pain all the way down to your foot all the symptoms add up to some sort of nerve compression at either L4/L5 or L5/S1 either a herniated disc or degenrative changes at the joints and discs decreasing the lumen compressing the nreve do the anti inflammatorys help? have they suggested steroidal injections? physiotherapy manupilations can help such as distraction and NAGS & SNAGS.....

    if i have mentioned something irellavent please feell free to correct me

    Hope this helps and keep us updated!!!
