The numbness you are feeling is no doubt being caused by nerve compression, which would indicate that the discs have gotten worse.

Your loss of ability to hold your urine, loss of bladder control is a serious problem and you should tell your doctor ASAP.

That is called cauda equina syndrome and is considered to be an emergency. If the pressure is not removed from the nerves that go directly to your bladder, you could lose control of the bladder permanently.

Please seek medical attention immediately, either call your present spine surgeon right away or go to the nearest emergency room right away.

Yes,It seems that your nerves have been inflamed by injured soft tissue around nerve roots.

I'm sorry Zak, but both of these members have nerve compression that needs to be properly treated by spine specialists. No doubt they need surgical decompression of the nerves.

Soft tissue injury does not cause compression of nerves that results in loss of bladder control.
That loss of bladder control is a very, very serious complication of nerve compression going to the bladder.

You keep attempting to diagnose everyone that posts on this forum with injury to soft tissue and advise various forms of acupuncture and tissue message.

I've sad it before and I'll say it again. advising everyone that their spine problems are nothing more than soft tissue injury is a dangerous thing to do.
You have not examined the patient, and are just assuming that what they describe is accurate.

Without having the patient in front of you and the ability to have hands on examination, you really have no idea what is going on.

When the member posts MRI results that do or do not show serious spine issues, you still post the soft tissue injury as a diagnosis.

Spine issues, spine problems is a serious problem and to continue to lead people down the path of nothing more than soft tissue injury for everyone, does an extreme disservice to those that are posting looking for help and understanding of what is going on with their spine.

You may or may not be correct with what you say, but to tell just about every member that soft tissue injury is the problem is wrong.

The best advise is to suggest they see a spine specialist for hands on proper diagnosis, and if the problem sounds like an emergency, which the first post does, then go to the ER or call their spine specialist right away.
