Thank you for your reply. I will share it with my 45 year old daughter. She was a cheerleader in high school and, unfortunately, part of the base that provided the cushion for the person on the top of the pyramid to fall on. She has neck issues because of that. A neurosurgeon told her she would eventually need surgery, probably sooner than later, because of issues with her C-5 and C-6. A month ago we were talking and she mentioned she is having somewhat of a problem with bladder control. She's never had children so take that off the plate for the reason. I told her it's probably b/c you are going through peri-menopause. But then the post appeared regarding cervical spine issues and one's bladder. I will suggest she schedule with the neurosurgeon to discuss.
