Suggest Long Term Prognosis Of Cauda Equina Syndrome

What can you tell me about long term Prognosis for Cauda Equina Syndrome when the patient is not Decompressed within the Allotted 48 hours. The CES was caused by a T12 L1 Herniation. The Doctor found multiple free floating pieces of disc free floating in the spinal canal. The surgery was supposed to take 90 minutes but took over 7 hours because of the limited space.It has been 4 months since surgery and I have had no improvement in pain levels or weakness what so ever.
