The herniated disk was a serious problem requiring immediate surgery and I have some permanent spinal damage. It might have helped to get the MRI sooner.

Anyway, if it seems like your body is doing something weird get it checked. Neurology problems can be hard to diagnose.
Relax, maybe it is just his seat or shoes. Try those before running to the Neurologist.
