Hello Bird,

Yes it can, at least it did with me, at the time I was taking a diuretic for blood pressure (now another type) and brought this up with the doc, they asked if I had any incontinence issues, it was more of loss of control.

Seems after surgery, I have never had that issue, it was pretty intermittent, but the Pudendal nerve covers a lot of area.

Here too, Bierstedt, did mine, the M6, I was supposed to have two, but it was too dangerous to do the lower, the L51, so they offered a fusion, from the back.

If this was the USA, I probably would have had to schedule another surgery.

Cannot thank them enough.

Any way you slice it, it will take a few years to work through all this...,
In case no one mentions it, do not lift anything more than a gallon of milk for 90 days, it takes a long time for the bone to grow onto the surfaces of the disc.

Good Luck, and the sooner you do this, the sooner it is over, and the less damage there is.

All the best.
