have slipped lower disc, pain is very bad.
every time this week I laugh or cough and I have to bolt to the bathroom.
half the time, I'm not making it and could that be from the back pain ?
I have no control over this.
need some answers
thanks in advance

That is considered an urgent doctor appointment. Lower disc injuries, that cause that, need to be seen and treated as soon as possible. There are other issues that it could be, but definitely rule out your back issue as a cause.

Sorry this is happening. Keep us posted. Had that for a little while after my last car wreck, but as my lower back started healing, the symptoms went away.

Best wishes-RJ

Im sorry this is happening to you, I know how painful back and disc probs are. When my discs collapsed all the doctors who looked at my scans were all really surprised I didnt have bladder or bowel problems as well. They all said its common amongst people will lower back problems so, unfortunately, your not alone.

My memory seems to have detoriated along with my back lol so I cant really remember why that said it happens but Im sure others here will be able to tell you.

I hope things eventually improve for you, take care.

Myself I love chiropractors. They can often get everything back in place in one visit. That field was originally practised by the chinese, dating back 4000 years.

So glad you got with a doctor. I hope they have a plan of action to help you. I know 3 days in the hospital is no fun, but at least you have a starting point.

Prayers and positive energy being sent your way.

Hugs-RJ

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
