Hi I'm a 20 yr old disabled male with C.P. and a tethered spinal cord from Ottawa, Canada. I'm new to this whole thing.

Hi @cpstinger! Yet again I have failed on the PD disability general knowledge quiz...what does having a tethered spinal cord mean. Excuse my thick-ness. "Any event, which interferes with the development of the spinal cord and cauda equinae, can lead to the ingrowth of other tissues like fat and skin, which creates an abnormal attachment, or tethering of the spinal cord Tethering of the spinal cord interferes with the normal regression process causing damage to the spinal cord as it is stretched and placed under abnormal tension The tension injures the spinal cord and may cause symptoms Other entities can be associated with tethering including tumors, cysts, tracts and spinal cord malformations. There are several distinct entities forming a spectrum of diseases. Each may occur separately or grouped together in the same patient." |
