Re: spinal stenosis

Not being able to control your bowels is an extremely serious thing that can happen with your back problem. The name of it is not coming to me, but you must call your doctor ASAP! This is very serious. Please post this on any back pain board here, and do an internet search for "back pain loss of bowel/bladder control" and you will find what I am talking about. CALL ASAP!!!!

Re: spinal stenosis

If you haven't already, I think you should seek a consultation with a neurosurgeon as quickly as possible. Cervical stenosis can also cause loss of bowel and bladder control. Regardless if your symptoms are being caused by the cervical stenosis, cauda equina syndrome, or some other condition, someone needs to quickly determine the correct diagnosis and then help you to secure appropriate treatment before any permanent damage occurs. Rather than waiting even an extra day to see your pain doctor, you might want to call the doctor who originally diagnosed your spinal stenosis right away in the morning. They might have the best idea who you should see and how quickly you need to see them.

Good luck and let us know what you find out!
