Cauda Equina Sindrome

I'm reaching out for help, hoping for some understanding. Several years ago, I endured a severe L4 L5 herniation, and lately, I've been grappling with numbness in my buttocks, legs, and foot. Living in Venezuela, where I earn just $100 USD per month, makes affording an MRI impossible. Through my research, I fear I might be experiencing cauda equina syndrome. It's disheartening that visiting the hospital isn't an option since they lack even basic X-ray facilities. Your empathy and assistance would mean the world to me during this challenging time.
