Can Cauda Equina Syndrome cause neuropathy? Can it be part of neuropathy or is it a completely separate condition? Can the "down there" numbness be part of Small Fiber neuropathy since SFN can affect the smooth muscles? So many questions about neuropathy but answers are scarce. Thank you for info!

@retired123 - This might help explain:

"Can cauda equina cause nerve damage?
Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a particularly serious type of nerve root problem. There is pressure on the nerves at the very bottom of the spinal cord. The pressure on the nerves stops the nerves from working properly. If the pressure is not treated quickly then CES may cause permanent nerve damage."

I have been told that it is my neuropathy that is responsible for my CAUSA EQUINA. I CAN NO LONGER WALK
