Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be loss of control of your bladder sensation.

I will advise you to do MRI spine,MRI will show disc compressing cauda equina.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.

Surgical correction is mandatory if disc compressing cauda equina.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
