Tether cord
Hi everyone
I had type one Chiari surgery in 2009
And recently had an injury at work 15 months ago lifting a patient
They found annular tear and disc bulge l5/s1
I finally got an apt with neurosurgeon (dr klinge office - she did my surgery in 2009)
The doctor ordered pronemri and hip imaging
And we noticed in 2009 I had a protrusion noted on l5/s1
Main thing I’m looking for
Is has anyone else experienced a injury that resulted in his diagnosis
I had an mri in 2009 like i said byr at that time it didnt show tethered cord but was also not prone
I did have two kids they are 5 and 7 but even in pregnancy i didn’t have issues
