Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an infection. I recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam, an X-Ray study of the spinal cord of this region and sacrum, a complete blood count, PCR, ESR for infection. A lumbar puncture may be needed, if suspicions of an infection of the fused vertebral bodies is suspected. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best,
