A member asked:

I got a pain n my back hurt real bad now it went numb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to see MD: You need to be seen as soon as possible since this may represent pressure on the nerves on your back. If youhave trouble urinating, having problems with bowel movements or fever you should go to the emergency room and be evaluated.
