I had a D12 fracture with acute spinal cord injury a month ago and had surgery but still can't feel when my bladder is full or when I need to pass stool. Is this normal after surgery or should I be concerned about nerve damage? What can I do to manage these symptoms?

It's common to experience bladder dysfunction, including an inability to sense bladder fullness, after a D12 spinal cord injury and surgery. This is often due to spinal shock, which can affect the autonomic nervous system and disrupt bladder control. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan for your bladder function.
