Cauda Equina Syndrome

Hi, my name is dapperbass58721. I’m here because I’m being financial abused by my mother, I have cauda equina syndrome, anxiety and depression and on a day to day basis I get screamed at and told horrific things to hurt my feelings, I live with her, I have a spinal cord injury, I can’t walk without aid, I’m incontinent in bowels and bladder, I have a super puebic catheter and I have to manual evacuate. I’ve lost all 4 nerves in my legs, can’t feel my toes, can’t feel my bladder or my bowels, and my sexual functions are also destroyed. I spent 13 months before being diagnosed back and fourth from the GP, hospitals and spine units being told that it was Sciatica - until it was too late. A&E completely wronged me and now I’m suffering for the rest of my life, my mother blames me but because It seriously hurt and I was crying all the time because I couldn’t handle my nerves trapping between my spine, I had to have two operations and spend months in hospital, she told me to keep doing the exercises and screamed and shouted at me, and said I was making it up in my head. I’m looking for any advice or just people to talk to in general because I have no friends, nobody to really talk to and she’s convinced my full family that I am to blame for everything, she’s definetly twisted everybody’s opinion on me. I’m worried about her finding out about this site, she keeps all the money and tells me what I can and can’t buy, she says I’m wasting money on things I don’t need for example a monthly pill organiser as I’m on loss of tablets and find it hard to keep track. I don’t have any general knowledge about how I should go moving out when she takes everything, always has done. council I’m sure won’t help as they have enough going on and I don’t want to be homeless on the street. I have mental and physical health issues and I need equipment, commode, shower stool, walking sticks, as I have no power in my feet I have to drag myself around and hold up with my arms. this is a very traumatic situation but I’m curious as to what advice people can help with..

Hi, my name is dizitsma. I'm here because I have Cauda Equina Syndrome

#MightyTogether

#CaudaEquinaSyndrome meant I had to have emergency surgery 2.5 yrs ago and I’ve managed daily pain ever since. Covid has recently caused a relapse in pain, piriformis syndrome and nerve damage. I’m struggling to stay positive. How do you lot cope? I’ve started with a PT but aside from a few moment I just feel tired, sore and stiff constantly.

So I was texting (using the microphone)to my daughter. I told her I had an appointment with the
" Prostate dentist" tomorrow for a small issue. 🙄So I sent another text correcting it and said prosthodontist, because I'm mom😂. Then I reread original and started laughing even more..."prostate dentist for a SMALL issue"😂🤣🤣 sorry guys.

I did well for the first six months. As a battle hardened trauma nurse, my brain leaped to action mode. It was summer and I was furloughed from work. My five year old helped me make cards to mail to friends/family. Adrenaline fueled me as my fight reaction kicked in.

Now, I CAN’T BREATHE! I don’t want to eat. Working from home with my husband and child in 800 square feet. Isolation due to his high risk lung disease. A new high pressure job adds to the stress. I wake up and cry. I cry at lunch. I bawl before bed. Guilt eats me alive as I see the messes pile up. Shame seranades me knowing my kiddo is watching videos all day. I always wanted to me a mom. It took six rounds of treatment to get our miracle girl. I was so engaged until my spinal column collapse. Everything changed. I was diagnosed bipolar after surgery but, ADHD will always rule supreme in my head.

I miss my social life. There is no fun. Nothing to look forward to. Hugs are my favorite. My husband has to deal with this alone. I want to curl up in bed and be alone for the next 2 days.
