Bladder and bowels

How does CS effect these areas please?

Hi,

Depending on which levels of the cervical spine are causing cs the organs and nerves below that level may be affected. I have cs at levels c4,5,, 6,7 and problems with my bladder as well as neck,shoulders,arms and legs. My bladder problem is caused by the bladder spincter (on/off switch)involuntary spasmming causing difficulty urinating.

Mike,

Thank you.

Not had problems there .............yet

This has never been an issue for me whatsoever

Hi,

I have to take Tamsiloson, it relaxes the bladder sphincter enabling me to urinate.Unfortuneatly, a big side effect is nasal congestion, have to breathe through mouth continuously day and night, so I only take Tamsiloson every other day. Urinate one day breathe the next.

You are lucky your not affected with your c/s. I have bone spurs protruding into spinal cord at levels c4567.

Mike.

Thank you.
