Cauda Equina Syndrom: Cauda equina is caused by compression, trauma or other damage to the lower area of the spinal cord. If you have loss of bowel or bladder control and numbing of your genitaia or inside of thighs (areas that would be in contact with a horse if you imagined yourself riding one) is an easy way to think of this) along with the pain you may have cauda equina syndrome. If have these symptoms GO TO ER
