I am not trying to scare you, but just being honest. Please go on Wikipedia and search "Cauda Equina syndrome" and read up on it---you will understand why your doctor is so concerned and they are fast tracking your tests. Hopefully you do not have this medical condition, but something else.

Thank you Charles. I checked Wikipedia as you suggested. I have 3 of the symptoms listed, do not have another 3, and do not understand the 1 other! Since the ultrasound found no issues with my other organs, I'm guessing this is related to my back trouble. The doc who performed the test mentioned a CT scan may be next, but that's up to my PC doc who I have not yet heard back from. Thank you again - Jeff
