A member asked:

I have spinal cord compression at level t10 to t12. i can take small steps not much at all. would like more info on this and prognoses please.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?surgical decompress: Do you have signs of lumbar stenosis? Are you experiencing bladder or bowel problems. Is your stenosis at t-10 to t-12 the only focal problem. See a neurological surgeon, evaluate the potential for surgical relief. If you do nothing, the prognosis could be indeed dismal. Please get proactive and seek treatment.
