Brief Answer: Disc prolapse or vertebral fracture Detailed Answer: Hi, thanks for using HCM. I went through your query and understood your concerns. I need few more details of your history to help you in a better way. Is it associated with loss of sensation in both legs? what about bowel and bladder control? Any tingling sensation in leg? If a patient comes to me with these symptom first I would like get detailed history and examination. With your history I can think of two possibilities. one disc prolapse or vertebral fracture causing compression over nerve. X-ray of lower spine and MRI of spinal canal helps in confirming condition. Early release of compression over nerve will result in better outcome. So better to consult your doctor early and get examined. Hope u answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query. I will be glade to answer them. Wish you a good health. Regards
