I have two severe bulging discs between L3-L4 and L4-L5 to the point where I cannot walk (and have been bed-ridden for three months).  I have been on pain pills this entire time.  I am worried because, in the last month, I have lost the ability to feel temperature and most pressure in my lower back.  I have already had 2/3 epidural shots that did not help so the third was canceled. I know have an appointment in the first week of December for a possible signature.  Should I be worried that I have very little feeling in my lower back?
Hi, As you have said that you are bedridden for 3 months. Most commonly it causes Pressure ulcer(Bed sores) over the prominent parts at back. It starts with loss of sensation (temperature, pressure or touch). For this you need to change position frequently by sleeping on either sides. As your nerve compression is much and pain not relieving by medication, surgical interventions may be required.
