If you experience back pain accompanied by a sudden loss of strength in one leg, numbness around the genitals or anus, an inability to pass urine, or a loss of control over urination or bowel movements, call your GP or the GP out-of-hours service immediately. Do not wait for a physiotherapy appointment.
