Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 I really would like to know too. But my layman opinion is that the nerves that have been damaged cannot be fixed. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Even if the Surgery is successful, Surgery is still Traumatic to the Nerves and sometimes they don't come out of it. I know that is real detailed as to why. But I do know that somebody else here is able to explain it better then I can, so I will let them do it.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 There are many reasons for pain. There are different types of pain. The pain we have is neuropathic, which means nerve pain, and usually it has no " cause " in that there isn't an injury to point to. In the files section of our yahoo group site, there is a paper I co-wrote regarding neuropathic pain. If you skim through it, you will find different reasons why the pain remains after the source is taken away. The nerves, essentially, are overexcited and send signals along afferent neurons (which interpret as pain signals). Our nerves have been stretched beyond anything they were ever meant to be stretched to, and they can't seem to calm themselves, even when they are no longer being stretched. --- Brande wrote: > Even if the Surgery is successful, Surgery is still > Traumatic to the Nerves > and sometimes they don't come out of it. > > I know that is real detailed as to why.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Hi, I really don't know of any Doctors in Texas. I live in Northern, VA. The Doctor that did my surgery is at town University Medical center in Washington, DC. He is a really good surgeon. After the surgery he did The pain was not as bad as the first surgery I had. I found my surgeon thru the Spinal Bifida Association. I called and ask for a Neurosurgeon who knew about tethered cord. They said he was the best in this area. Maybe you can call them and they can give you a name of a good Doc in the area. I hope this helps, In VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 I m not sure of a Dr. in your area either, but may be able to help with questions or info as my daughter had her surgery at 12 months--she is now 16 months. Let me know if I can answer anything for you. -mom to 16 months-NY, USA Re: question Hi, I really don't know of any Doctors in Texas. I live in Northern, VA.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hi , the first sign of my TC was bad foot deformities, mostly my left foot and then as I grew, my R foot got worse. The Left is still the worst. However, it depends what your feet look like - do you have raised arches, curled toes, walking tiptoe, floppy feet, poor ankles control? it may be worth getting your feet looked at in the context of TC before you go for any unnecessary surgery. Regards Nina Quoting i_didnt_do_it16 : > Hello, > Sorry I havent posted in a while, been busy trying to find a job and > > looking into volunteering at a hospital within the next couple > days.
