My dad's MRI report shows some issues and while he doesn't have much pain right now, he feels unsteady when doing activities like jogging. The doctors are recommending surgery soon but I'm wondering if we can wait two months to see if there's any improvement or if surgery is really urgent. Are there any non-surgical options to help strengthen his muscles instead?

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.

I've had a slipped disc for the last 5 years and the pain is really bothering me. Is surgery the best option for this or are there other treatments I should try first? What would you recommend for long-term relief?
Few people with herniated disks require surgery. If conservative treatments fail to improve your symptoms after six weeks, surgery may be an option, especially if you continue to have: Poorly controlled pain. Numbness or weakness.
