I Have had Lower back pain around my Tail Bone Area for about 5 months now. It started after 6 months of intense weight lifting and 30 minute incline walking a day. The pain it around my tail bone, hips, buttocks and shoots down my legs. I also get saddle numbness, and in the past week both my legs have been going numb and its are to walk. I also have issues with my bladder leaking. All my MRI's have shown to be clear. I have had three epidurals and takin steroids but numbness and pain is getting worse. [br>[br>Should I get another MRI done? Does it mean there is nothing wrong just because the MRI showed clear? I had one Doctor tell me it was Cauda Equine Syndrome and one Doctor tell me it was Sciatica! What am I supposed to do with 2 different Diagnoses? At this point I dont know what to do. But I am scared about the numbness!!! [br> [br>How serious is this? and If two Doctors are saying different things now what do I do?View Thread
