Dear Sir/Mam,
The symptoms you are complaining about can happen due to either an acute muscle spasm or a disc prolapse. I hope a thorough neurological examination was done before they discharged you. If naot then i would suggest to meet a neurologist who would be able to help you. I suggest you also get a mri of the lumbar spine done . Not having bowel movements can also happen due to prolonged immobilisation. Hope this has helped you.
