A member asked:
Having been diagnosed with "cauda equina syndrome", i am heavily medicated because of intense pain. consequently, i am no longer in pain. while waiting for treatment, will i make my situation worse by walking my dog?

Cause equina: Cause equina syndrome can cause leg weakness and risk of falling. Use your judgement if you have any concerns about leg weakness or unsteadiness. I assume your dog is obedient when taken for a walk. One bad fall can change your life.

NO: Exercise is fine if you can do it, but that diagnosis implies an emergency, something has to be done soon. Good luck
