Cauda equina syndrome?
I had an arm ,neck pain that would not go away 19 years ago and i still get this pain ,i had an emg done on my left hand ,arm and it was determined in fact i had nerve damage,so for the last 19 years i had to sleep only on my right side and have lost all my teeth on the right side,sorta wierd? any way about 10 years ago i was driving a car that was under recall for frame cradle bolt falure that maybe they failed and i rolled the car ,well that did nothing to help my left arm but about a year later i noticed i had trouble peeing? i went to see a doctor and my prostate was checked ,neg, i was told? well i used to do alot of driving and my left but check used to get sore? well my left side has gotton worse along with left leg now,also the peeing trouble has gotton worse

I take 6 or so ibroprofin and i can usually funtion ok unless i over do it then i get bed ridden? simple things like mowing 1/3 my yard will make it hurt bad ,even just walking and your arms swing back and forth with mess my left arm hurt bad also?

well in the last few years I have noticed it gets hard to pass a good BM ,infact 3 or 4 times in the past year i have woke up from a dead sleep to painfully pass a bm ?
this does not sound right? it mostly happens after i take tylanolPM's?

so now i have my left arm messed up and my left sciatic nerve and over the last 10 years or so the peeing and bm trouble has gotton worse! what can be done now?
