What are the Symptoms of Cauda Equina Syndrome?

The early symptoms to look out for if you suspect Cauda Equina Syndrome are:

  • Lower back pain
  • Weakness in both legs that's getting worse
  • Numbness around the genitals or anus
  • Abnormal bladder function
  • Abnormal bowel function

If you or someone you know are displaying any of these symptoms, there’s a chance it could be Cauda Equina Syndrome. In this case, you should seek immediate medical attention, as the sooner it’s diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of a full recovery.

An MRI scan is often suggested, and emergency surgery will usually be required following a diagnosis of Cauda Equina Syndrome.
