ElastiBee, you need to go to a neurosurgeon and he will prescribe you an MRI to find out if you have this problem or not. Tethered cord syndrome is a very rare disease typically is a malformation from birth, that is why there is not much info on the web.

To whomever did this video... can you recommend where to find any good info on tethered cord surgery for adults? Everything I'm finding on the internet seems to refer to something unique to children. And how did you get confirmation of the diagnosis? My geneticist suspects I have this problem, and she has explained it to me, but... always looking for more info on the internet to terrify myself with.
