Default Spine, Caudia Equinia?? questions

You all who know me know the issues I've been having with breaks. One of the breaks is an H shape accross my sacrum at S3 and back up beside one of my sacroilliac joints. Pain is really unbearable at times. Other times I am in lots of pain but I can tolerate it.

I've been taking the Forteo Injections for bone building like the ones Liza Jane was taking. That's all that's new in meds.

Things have happended since April when all the breaks started. I've lost the big toenail on my right foot and it's about 1/2 grown back out. So far looks healthy. The one on the left turned purple and finally fell off all in one piece last night. No nail under it at this point. I quiver more, my tremor is worse, the hot liquid fire running down the back of my thighs and around my buttocks is now well established. Then the strangest thing...I was standing at the table braced sorta, waiting for him to give me the evening Forteo shot. At the exact time he poked me with the needle, I felt this gush of moisture in my underpants. Then I realized I was wet down both legs and into the floor. I had no feeling of needing to go, I'd been about 10 minutes prior. I didn't even know I'd gone until I saw the puddle in the floor. First time this has happened. Never been a problem before. I do admit to having to go more frequently now but I've never had an accident or even a near accident.

I have very little sensation other than soreness in the whole groin, vaginal and rectal area.

My first thought is caudial equina (I know I'm not spelling that right) because of the break, but I called the neuro's office and was told I needed to see my PCP to rule out infections and other problems first.

The earliest I could see my PCP is tomorrow at 2:00 so I know nothing. I'm getting up there in years 63 this year. But I'm a young 63. Is this something that naturally happen to women and Men after a certain age or is it more omnious. My entire body changed when all those breaks happened.
