Brief Answer:
Fecal incontinence needs a spine surgeon review soon

Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX

You seem to have a fresh trouble with the degenerated disc. Incontinence of stool is fairly observed in patients who have degenerated discs. The symptoms that you mention definitely need an intervention. If you are bread winner of the family I still suggest you to go back to the spine surgeon for a review. Numbness is a sensory symptoms which means the problem is progressing irrespective of core strengthening. These are definitely not good signs even after physiotherapy.

there is certain information that is lacking in your query like age, duration of problem and occupation. Irrespective of these it needs a review by spine surgeon to operate or to delay the surgery.

Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
