This is not a diagnosis. It sorts symptoms by urgency so you know
how quickly to act. It does not identify a condition and does not replace an
exam by a clinician. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.

This is not a diagnosis. It is a guide to timing based on what you
reported. Only an in-person evaluation can identify what is causing your pain.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for loss of bladder or bowel
control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or leg weakness that is getting
worse by the hour.
