so... I'm having a really difficult time... I'm almost 29 weeks pregnant and this has been the worst experience of my life.... I've been having serve pains through my legs, groin,feet and back.... so my Dr ordered an MRI. come to find out I have a tumor 5.2 cm growing in my spinal fluid cavity. and I am on the brink of having what's called cauda equina syndrom..... which can cause incontinence and or paralysis..... unfortunately until paralysis or incontinence happens they can not help me until the baby is born which puts me at a larger risk for permenant nerve damage.... I feel so low and depressed and am hoping for the best but TRYING to prepare myself for the worst.....
after the baby is born they are going to do surgery on my spine and remove the tumor. that will actually give me instant relief with possible some complications like temp. incontinence.
no. not really. there isn't anything that's going to help other than pain med (which I hate taking cause of the baby's sake) but I take when the pain is intolerable.... I can't even walk anymore... they have me in a wheel chair...
Did they say take it easy or can you do anything that won't damage it as much or irritate?
thank you @mimiz i appreciate that. I just needed to vent and let it out.... prayer I feel is the only thing that can help me now.
thank you @jess1ca and @tdaniels
