Anyone living with the same condition

Hi @Trace12 I don't remember any recent discussions where someone has disclosed that they have Cauda Equina syndrome, but we do have a few members with spinal stenosis, which I understand is a similar condition?

Are you after any specific advice, or just wanting to connect with people in a similar position more generally?

Hi trace12,
I suffer with pain around the top of my left leg, also my left ankle gets pins and needles,
It comes after walking or standing worse towards the evening,
I am told its lumber spinal stenosis.
Presure on the nerves in my back, because its only one leg suggests its where the nerves exit the spine if it was in the central spinal column it would effect both.
I believe if the condition gets worse and actually damages the nerves then it may become cauda equina syndrome.
Not 100% but thats how i interpreted it.some years ago i went to doctors with a throbbing pain i kept getting around my big toe it would come and go randomly right the doc said it was a trapped nerve in my back.
She gave something to calm the nerves and i have not had it since
