Hello Sheila, and welcome to Connect. Thank you for introducing yourself to the other members of the Chronic Pain group. The chronic pain group is for members who experience consistent pain on a daily basis that is caused by lots of different ailments. This group is to talk about the pain that you experience from any illness or issue and how other members cope with that pain.

You may wish to also check out the Brain & Nervous System group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/brain-and-nerve-diseases/) which is what cauda equina would fall under. You may want to participate in the brief discussion that was started on cuada equina syndrome a few months back as well, http://mayocl.in/2aWudfX.

If you have any additional questions about how to become a member of a group, post a discussion, or reply to a message, please do not hesitate to send me a personal message by clicking on my name and then clicking on the blue envelope symbol and sending me a message that would be between only you and I.
