    I had sciatica that seems to be progressing into cauda equina…basically now my buttocks, perineum, inner thigh, cock, asshole, and balls are all numb.

    So yeah, I am checking to make sure it’s still there.

    And also farts feel fucking weird.

      Omg, that sounds terrible! I hope it doesn’t keep progressing and they get it figured out soon. I’m glad it’s still there. 😅

        Yeah.

        My Ortho doesn’t seem to think so or maybe I’d get a fucking phone call back instead of me having to call his office twice a goddamn day and play phone tag with his receptionist.

        I called on Wednesday. He ordered an MRI yesterday that day and now it’s caught in hospital red tape.

        Had I gone into the ER I’d have some answers and a huge bill by now.

        I’m half guessing I’ll get a call on Monday saying I should’ve gone to the ER on Wednesday, but that’s why I fucking called in the first place.

        Edit: I called my ortho’s office/on-call and got through to him…he agrees that it’s worrisome but likely not an emergency unless also met with incontinence. He is rushing my MRI order and getting me started on a steroid.
