Hello, thanks for you time! I am not diabetic (to my knowledge). I also have 2 desiccated disks in my lower spine from a major injury when I was 13 years old. that let me without movement in my legs for about 24 hours. The nerves in my lower back are rubbing against the inside of my spinal canal from time to time causing severe pain. I am wondering if this injury could be contributing to this problem. I have an appointment with my urologist for next week Thursday. I also should mention I have been trying to run a lot lately (to lose weight) and is it possible running could contribute to the problem, and would it be advisable to stop? I am assuming the fatty parts of my inside of my thighs may be rubbing against that region as I run. I noticed my stomach is also bigger than in the past and the region right above my penis is fattier than usual.

as to the running..as I have increased the intensity of the running (about 2-3 Miles 5 times a week) that has seemed to accompany the onset of the problem). Running is not resulting in any weight loss.
