I was diagnosed with tethered cord in June of 2006. My symptoms are bowel incontinence, inability to urinate, and painful ejaculations. I havent had any orthopedic problems as of yet. Over the past 5-7 days, I started developing discomfort in my calves. The pain really flucuates. Sometimes it is aganozing, while other times it is mild. Now I have had muscular pain/soreness in my lifetime, but what I am experiencing now is not soreness, it doesnt feel like it at all. Is there any chance that this pain/discomfort is associated with the tethered cord? As of right now I have only been feeling pain in my calves, but like I said earlier this only started to develop 5-7 days ago. I know some symptoms of tetherd cord are leg pain/weakness. If anyone has any suggestions, all help is appreciated.

Hate to bust your bubble, but it does NOT work for everyone.

Just a lil FYI

Of all the words, of tongue or pen, the saddest, are these: "what might have been".
