I few weeks ago I was taking a CPR class and did a lot of bending, after the class my back and lets felt sore and I had difficulties peeing and numbness in gentiles and rectum and butt. A few day later I went to ER and did a MRI which showed inflammation around my nerve root. To cut a long story short I met with a neurologist who did a Spinal Tap and the result showed I had white blood cell in the fluid but no tumor cells. It have been almost a month now and the numbness is still there, in my left leg, butt, penis(sometime) and anus. Since the problem I have not had regular bowel movement, which I taught was due to the pain killers I was taking. I stop taking pain killers now for one week and the the only bowel movement I have had is with the use of laxatives. I am peeing fine ( but the force is what it use to be) The Neurologist says he is not sure whats wrong. I have been reading about cauda equina syndrome and it is freaking me out. I will be seeing the neurologist in two weeks time. Is this too long?
All the Neurologist is saying that I had a virus in my system but he is not sure whats the cause...
Any advice?

If this is still going on and for every one else then HAng in there, it may work out the way you want but if it doesn't it will work out. THis sounds like OCD in a small way.One of the worst things you can do is keep looking stuff up and thee worst place to look it all up is on the internet. THere are so many different people with so many different issues and reasons for posting things on the internet.
So most often you are just feeding Obcession. It seems ironic but it isn't and you are actually looking for the worst because you are slightly Panicky. Even if what you read was correct what are you going to do about it panicking online. Your neurologist knows better and if he says he can't help and doesn't refer you to some one who can he probably shouldn't be practicing.
Don't panic it is both disorienting and will make you think and maybe even do stupid things. A way to try and combat the Panic or worries is to not feed them by looking up scary diagnoses online and attempting to diagnose yourself. Even neurologists don't go by solely by their own opinions and My guess is you aren't a neurologist and that's ok just don't cause yourself to Panic. It's a usefull tool for chaos.
Best of luck.
