Patients With Chronic Conditions Are Sharing Everything They Thought Was “Normal” Before Their Diagnosis


19.

“I’ve had lower back pain for two years now and leg pain for almost six months. Basically, I walk with a cane. I’ve tried physical therapy and pain management, and neither helped.”

“They did an MRI and found I have tethered cord syndrome; basically, the spinal cord should be free, but mine is tethered to tissue. It’s rarely diagnosed in adults. It explains so many of my medical issues. I most likely have to get surgery for them to de-tether the cord.”
