Urinary and Fecal Incontinence due to Stenosis

Posted by reets70 @reets70, Jan 12 5:22am

Is anyone suffering with incontinence due to spinal stenosis? I’m becoming housebound because of it. Is there any help for these problems? I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis a year ago and began an ablation, but had to delay it due to other medical issues. Now I have fecal incontincnce that keeps me in the house most of the time. I’m an 84 year old female and hate to sit around like this.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

Thank you for your reply. I’m bringing the MRI with me to my appointment next week. I hope there is something that can be done to eliminate this problem!

Unfortunately I also have cervical stenosis with both bowel and bladder incontinence while sleeping.
I'm a light sleeper though when I wake I have no control. It's happened a couple of times awake but still my spine doctor doesn't seem concerned
