A member asked:
Pain in back that goes down to my butt. it's a tingling pain that keeps getting worse. can't stand straight when happens. loss of bladder. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GO TO THE DOCTOR: There are many causes of back pain. But what I am concerned about is that you have loss of bladder function. This is very concerning in the setting of back pain for compression of the very bottom part of the spine called the cauda equina. It is potentially a serious condition and is the first thing that I would want to rule out.
