Spina Bifida: Did a doctor diagnose you w/spina bifida? In any case, you need to know what you are dealing with. Please see your doctor. He/she may refer you to a specialist. I know this can be a bother but it is worth it for peace of mind and good information for your future. Peace and good health.
