UK Woman Warned of Rare Spinal Condition After Yoga-Injured Back

After a yoga injury led to slipped discs, a U.K. woman is struggling with symptoms of early cauda equina syndrome, a spinal condition that affects nerves in the lower back.

Doctors told a U.K. woman she’s at risk of developing a rare spinal condition due to a yoga pose she did years ago, according to news agency SWNS.

Terrilyn Griffiths, 44, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, exhibited early signs of cauda equina syndrome (CES, a dangerous form of spinal nerve damage) in January 2024 when an MRI revealed slipped discs in her back, stemming from yoga-induced back injuries.
