Can spinal for c-section cause cauda equina syndrome? if so how would u know u had it and what can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spinal anesthesia: Spinal anesthesia for C section should not cause cauda equina syndrome unless it is complicated by bleeding or infection inside the spinal canal. You will experience weakness and numbness in your lower extremities. A spinal MRI may help to confirm the cause.
