What could be the problem? Could it be something serious or benign?

35-year-old womana year ago

My feet have been numb for 7 days. I feel like my feet are bigger but physically nothing has changed. My genitals are also numb and I can't feel my stools. I have difficulty walking. I started working out again and the problem appeared 2 days later. I have moderate scoliosis, small hernia and mild degenerative disc disease. My blood tests are ok except TSH 9.65. What could be the problem?

what you describe may be a compression of the cauda equina, urgent medical attention is required to rule out this diagnosis
