Update and question

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I got the answers on , and here is what we

found, she is tethered, but not tethered enough for

surgery! I have never heard of that, how about any of

you?

, you are right, if the spinal cord falls forward

it is free, if not it is caught. is tethered on

her back, and shows it moves a little on her stomach,

so he feels at this time surgery is not necessary, she

is in so much pain! We are now referred back to the

pain clinic!

Please share your input!
