Needs more information . MRI LS spine suggested

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have read your message.
I think doing an MRI LS spine would be a good idea.
Also, do you have any leg weakness?
Do you have any comorbid illnesses?

I would also consider possible urine infection.
It can cause similar symptoms also.

I would like to know prior medications also.
