What Causes Bed Wetting In A Patient With Chronic Back And Neck Pain?
My husband has chronic back and neck issues. He will be going in for surgery in the next 14 days for a lower lumbar fusion. He has begun to wet the bed (4 times in the last 3 weeks) should I let his surgeon know, is this emergent or will he be ok until the surgery?

Dear caring wife
Bed wetting is a serious problem and may be due to cut a equina syndrome in which due to large disc prolapse signicant compression of multiple lumbar nerve roots leads to weakness of both limbs and bowel and bowel and non bladder involvement. So please call urgently your surgeon for this issue to get permanent and long term relief. All the best.
