What can i do in mean time waiting for de tethering surgery to help preserve nerves. legs, urinating, sex ual function all affected. 26 yo female. ?

Avoid making worse: Tethered cord is often aggravated "by bending slightly forward, by sitting upright with crossed legs, or by holding a moderate weight (such as a baby or a stack of books) at waist level. This pattern of pain is sometimes called the “3-B sign” for bending, Buddha-sitting, and baby-holding." http://columbiaspine.org/condition/tethered-spinal-cord/
