How do i know if i have tethered spinal cord?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most often pain: Will be present, and this can include neurologic signs at that level, such as sensory changes or weakness as well. If it is suspected, and MRI should be ordered and it can show tethering normally. Hope that helps!
