Emergency Surgery for a Disc Herniation (Cauda Equina Syndrome) - My story. 

Hey! sorry for the delayed response! This is the only video in this account, and I hadn't looked at it much. Sorry to hear about your experience...and not knowing! Thanks for the kind words, I'm in a much, much better place now. No pain! I've also changed my activities, and stopped the type of extreme sports I did before. I kept a diary of the symptoms, which help when you're in front of the doctors. anyway, let me know if there's anything I can help with!

hey hey sorry it took so long to reply! I'm doing great! thank you! no pain anymore at all! My legs cramp once in a while if I'm just in a pool for example, which is quite odd, but that got better with weight training. Our bodies are amazing so as long as we are pushing our goals, our bodies will try to adapt, in my opinion. I have less innervation going to my tibialis anterior muscle on my right side, which is likely a result of trauma from the surgery. this causes weakness when pulling back my toes..which can develop into "drop foot". I had drop foot in the beginning of my recovery, but with time, exercise and consciously trying to dorsi flex it got a lot better that nobody can notice the slight difference between left and right foot gait. I don't notice the lack of muscle strength in that foot with any day to day activity, or sports (for the most part; excluding Brazilian jui jitsu). :)
