Welcome @tesseo10, I don't have CES but I can tell you that you are not alone and I'm happy you found Connect where you can meet other members and learn from each other about your health conditions and what has helped. You may also be interested in the following discussions:

-- Cauda equina syndrome (CES): https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/my-story-in-short/
You mentioned your doctor won't read the literature. Is this something you read that might help? Do you have any questions you are trying to get answered?

Welcome. You won’t feel so alone here. While I don’t know much about your issues, I do know that if you don’t feel supported by your Dr it’s time to switch if at all possible.
