so sorry you are going through this!
Do you have numbness at all with the pain? Does zombie leg mean weakness? Urine retention and bowel incontinence may indicate a more serious condition called cauda equina syndrome. If you do a search on this forum I know I've seen others post about it. Make sure you are being evaluated for this, it may mean another MRI.
