"I'm worried there's something serious going on"
Back pain sucks.
And when it's severe, it's scary.
Sometimes it's so severe and scary, going to the hospital seems like the only option.
But when should we actually be attending A and E with back pain?
Oor Louise has made this stunning infographic to help simplify Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) for patients.
Rest assured it's incredibly rare and we pride ourselves on our ability to screen CES 🤝
Side note: if EVER you see a health professional about back pain and they DONT ask questions relating to the above, get up, walk out said clinic, and never go back.
