can spinal stenosis affect urination?

Compression of these nerves due to lumbar stenosis can lead to neurogenic bladder dysfunction and present as urinary issues such as frequency, urgency and lack of control. Pain and the other symptoms that are normally associated with lower back issues are difficult enough to deal with.

A variety of neurological diseases and disorders, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, stroke, spina bifida, and hydrocephalus (abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain) can cause problems with bladder control.

To achieve lasting relief from spinal stenosis, your treatment must correct the cause of the symptoms. In some cases, surgery may be unavoidable — but in many others, chiropractic care can relieve the problem non-invasively.

Other symptoms of spinal stenosis can involve paresthesia, weakness or cramping in one or both extremities, rest pain, or burning pain, and are commonly misdiagnosed as peripheral neuropathy, especially in patients with diabetes.

While lumbar stenosis typically causes the most pain, cervical stenosis is often the source of dizziness. Pinched nerves can cause headaches and a loss of balance. As the bones degrade, dizzy spells become more and more frequent.

Definition. Cervical stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal is too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can cause damage to the spinal cord, a condition called myelopathy, or pinch nerves as they exit the spinal canal (radiculopathy).

Conclusion: RLS symptoms were more prominent in lumbosacral canal stenosis patients compared to the normal group. The awareness of its symptoms can help reduce misdiagnosis.

Spinal stenosis can lead to the slow but steady loss of strength in the legs. The severe pain caused by this condition can be quite disabling, even if you have no muscle weakness, since it greatly affects your ability to work and enjoy life. The natural course of the disease is one of slow progression over time.

The symptoms are often so gradual, that patients seek medical attention very late in the course of this condition. Patients may be so disabled and weak that they require the use of a wheelchair for mobility. In rare instances, severe spinal stenosis can cause paraplegia and/or bowel/bladder incontinence.

Key Points. Damage to the neural pathways that control voiding can render the bladder too flaccid or spastic. Flaccid bladder tends to cause overflow incompetence. Spastic bladder tends to cause frequency, urge incontinence and, particularly with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia, retention.

Spinal stenosis typically causes symptoms due to pressure (pinching) on the spinal cord or its nerves. Pain and/or numbness in the legs or arms are the most common symptoms. Progressive weakness and atrophy of muscles in the legs or arms can develop over time. Rarely, stiffness of the arm or leg muscles can occur.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis Neck pain. Numbness, tingling or weakness in your hand, arm, leg or foot. Difficulty walking. Bowel or bladder dysfunction in severe cases.

Multilevel spinal stenosis Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck. Some people with spinal stenosis may not have symptoms.

This type of spinal stenosis affects the lower part of the spine. Symptoms include back pain and numbness, weakness or tingling the legs or feet.

For example, more severe central stenosis may cause urinary retention symptoms. Persistent radicular pain that is unrelieved with a change in position is more indicative of lateral recess stenosis. The mechanism of radicular pain production in spinal stenosis is incompletely understood.

If you are living with lumbar spinal stenosis, stop hoping it will just go away. Spinal stenosis is a progressive condition, but symptoms can be improved with the right exercises. It's important to do these exercises and not just use anti-inflammatory medications alone.
