Good: It is good that you are being looked after on a spine ward as symptoms point to something damaging or putting pressure on the spinal cord or the nerves exiting the spinal cord. A chronic infection could be the cause but it could also be a disc problem, bony overgrowth in the spinal canal, etc. The most important thing is that you are in the right place and a proper work-up has begun.
