Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 - I had both problems, and was told the same by my ortho, but then my gastro. said it could be b/c of my back. In the end, I ended up getting worse intenstinal problems after my first surgery, then they both got way better after the revision. My current surgeon suggested that the bowel and bladder problems were possibly due to compression of the cauda equina nerve roots at the end of the spinal cord, caused by my spinal stenosis. I had diarrhea very frequently, and incontinence (I had to go right then - no forewarning). I know there are others who have experienced similar problems (IBS,bladder), who I've met with scoliosis as well.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I found that both bladder, and bowel difficulties were hand in hand with what kind of back pain had the upper hand at any given time. Literally depending on what hurt most, I had some reasonable idea which problem I was going to get. Thankfully, all was resolved after my revision surgery. I'm sure the painkillers had something to do with the bowel issues, but they definitely were not the whole of the story, and there was a particular kind of pain associated with right leg pain that seemed to be the biggest culprit of loose motions and outright diarrhoea. titch-- Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end. - Hawking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Flax seeds have helped us here during constipation. I grind them, and give about 1/2 tablespoon with meals(2 times). > > please help i have upped my sons mag and buffered c and i am not > getting a bowel movement has been 2 day > any help > tried herbs everything > is anyone on a drug besides sulfaizazine and seems to keeps bowels > moving. > randi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try increasing the yest protocol, and add some magnesium. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have read a few of the posts on here about this topic....I am 33, have never had any bladder control problems, except the occasional cough too hard/laugh too hard & pee a little bit, but that's after 2 kids in 2 years. Nothing I would consider a problem....anyway...since my injury I wet my pants if I bend over, laugh or cough at all...now I am wetting the bed, and I wet in my brand new chair the other day. I wear a pad at this point 24 hours a day, I am ready to start wearing depends underpants. I can't hold it if I have to pee and sometimes I can't even feel when I have to go. I talked to my Dr. about it and he said that it is the nerve damage and I asked him about losing bowel control and he said it is possible, I asked because if I need to have a bowel movement there is no waiting at all, I have to go right then. He said that this is a progression of the nerve damage. It is very frustrating, very embarrassing, and I am tired of it all.....this is just one more symptom of what is going on with my back issues.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 You can have bowel and bladder issues from the Sciatic nerve , most Drs feel this is an emergency and will do surgery ASAP . Fortunately I have had not of this , the only problem I have had is after surgery with constipation from the anesthesia and meds .

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 What type of problems are you having? From your previous emails, bowel incontinence isn't the problem, but overactive digestion?

With modifications in your diet, it can be a thing of the past. > > I have a cervical spine problem, called basilar invagination. and for the past two years, every time I eat results in overactive digestion very shortly afterwards. > I have read that bowel incontinence can be a problem, but that's not what I have.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have basilar Invagination and there is a risk with this cervical spine disorder or my brainstem becoming compressed. I do not have bowel incontinence, or anything even close to it - I have perfect control over them. My problems with my bowels started about two years ago and started with not being able to tolerate one food after another that I used to have no problem with. Within a half hour, my stomach will start gurgling like i have to do a bowel movement, but I don't have to rush to the bathroom, I can hold it just fine, its just very overactive digestion thats completely abnormal for me. I'm a 24yr. old male. so I was just wondering if this could be a problem with spinal cord compression, even though I do not have incontinence, before I call up my neurosurgeon. Thanks, Caleb.
