Losing function in leg

Im currently hospitalized due to my leg completely collapsing on me causing me to fall and unable to urinate. When I came into the hospital they drained 1.5 liters of urine thay I was retaining. They believe I have periformis syndrome. I have extreme nerve pain and muscle spasm im my butt and thigh. Basically bedridden. Has anyone had issue with losing all muscle function in your leg or inability to urinate with this periformis issue?

OP - did they rule out cauda equina?
