When Tyler was a small child, frequent bathroom accidents became a frustrated part of his daily life. His mother persisted and eventually found the answer to this puzzling problem with the help of Dr. Holly Gilmer at MHSI. Dr. Gilmer preformed a Minimally Invasive Tethered Spinal Cord Surgery. Since his surgery Tyler is happy healthy and accident free!

Unbelievable. I can't believe doctors couldn't figure this out for so long. When did he have his surgery after diagnosis like how long did it take?

Glad to hear he's doing okay, I have a tethered cord myself but I've already had three surgeries to deal with tethering. Doctors can't operate anymore, they say it would do more harm than good. One question, in a person with a tethered cord, is it okay for them to move their neck, either Bend or turn left or right? I've had some doctors say it causes some harm to the cord because the cord isn't moving freely due to the tethering and others say it does no damage to the cord. Do you have any info regarding this? Thanks.

I'm 35. Long story short, I have Lipomyelomengingocele....have had 3 surgeries. Last one @ 27yrs old. That was botched...can't feel my feet, backs of legs, "pelvic area"... incontinence worsened. Have to Self Cath for rest of my life now. Cannot void by myself anymore. Walking-wise, I'll be fine for a while (months at a time), then all the sudden I'm walking like I'm 90yrs old.

Does anybody know if they can cut this Tissue mass out??? I feel like it'd be extremely high risk, high reward. I'm just tired of being "in limbo". Can anybody help me?
