My fiance has 2 herniated discs in his lower back (L4-5, L5-S1). He had an MRI about 10 days ago and there was nerve impingement, but no evidence of Cauda Equina Syndrome (thank god). He just admitted to me this evening that since yesterday, he has had to force himself to urinate. He said it hardly comes out and he really has to push. It takes him about 45-60 seconds to even get the stream started. I am worried this is because of his back, as he has been having increased pain these past 2 days. The surgeon can't see him for another 3 weeks! Does this sound like a problem that could be caused by disk/nerve injury? Any info would be great! Thanks
