Just read a thread in a German Forum and i am surprised about it. Somebody complains about operation / problems at L5/S1 with spinal stenosis and foraminal stenosis resulting in complete or gush emptying of the bladder. Many people comment that this is unusual, because damage at this point will cause retention. (@mickdl)
I do have formaninal stenosis as well and some disc prolapse and i do have got NDO and not retention, just DSD additional as a result of a (over) compensating pelvic floor. Other neurological problems could be the reason for my problems as well, like POTS and ME are both either related to bladder problems, mostly OAB.
But i am very sure there are several people here with NDO / OAB symptoms and lumbar problems, but i can not remember one with retention only.
Is my personal view that incorrect? I know in the medical books lumbar problems are usually related to inactive bladder, but my personal impression is different.
And specifically the foraminal stenosis on the right side of the spine, like in my case, seems to stop the "suppress reaction" of the brain, leading to OAB symptoms, the left side would result in no information about bladder status to the brain, as far as i understand it, and cause retention and overflow problems.
So people with lumbar problems, tell me please your personal experience, i am eager to know.
