I have all these symptoms and have had them for years... And none of my Drs think this is an emergency... So frustrating and all I'm doing is getting worse.

Is it possible to get cauda equina symptoms or similar higher up in the spine? I fractured C7, Th4 and Th5 in 2009. It healed well without surgery. But last week I did a very heavy wrong lifting and felt something wrong in the thoracic level, with pain all the way down to the lower back. Sensation problems with bowel, less force while emptying. Some sensation issues in penis and while urinating. My doctor says lumbago and pain meds for 2 weeks, but I’m not totally convinced.

Not up in your spine. It's in the lower lumbar and the nerves going down to your pelvis and legs. I had a c6 c7 fusion I tore a nerve off my spinal cord feeding my horses. ..now my lower back is so bad..
