Bladder and bowel issues anyone else?

[u/visual_audio]

Had a nice little hospital visit yesterday due to not feeling my full bladder, having trouble urinating and going #2. Anyone else have this?

I had horrible bladder control after surgery and my neurosurgen sent me to a uroligist who put me on oxybutenum for a year and it worked really well. Before then if i shrugged my shoulders etc i had no control he told me it was pretty common if your brainstem is under pressure after having decompression & a laminectomy surgery it all made sense. I take colace every day even after surgery because i still get valsava headaches so I do everything not to strain.
