I have the classic symptoms. Nerogenic bladder and bowel. Constant burning in the saddle area concentrated in the anus sphter muscle. I'm on Lyrica. I've tried many treatments. Nothing works.

@dhuffman1969
I have beginning stages after 3 level ALIF fusion surgery. My incontinence is bearable at this point, I have had about 5 urination blowouts heading to bathroom, 2 defecation blowouts in process of taking down pants, so close calls. I hope it doesn't get worse. I have gone back and forth between gabapentin and pregabalin. They seem to work ok for about 3 months, then relief wears off and I switch back.

@dhuffman1969 idk if this would do anything but it kinda sounds like my symptoms of interstitial cystitis and i get installations for that which is lidocaine,sodium bicarbonate, and heparin and they put it in my bladder through a catheter and it has actually seemed to work after a few weeks
