can your siactic if caused by a slipped disc cause excessive bowel movements?

Question

The siactic nerve pain for the past four weeks has put me in the worst pain of my life. If the siactic pain is caused by a slipped disc can it also press against the colan causing excessive bowel movements. The pain seems to stem from the tail bone area. I also do a lot of sitting at the computer. Can anyone answer this question for me

Answer 1

I assume this is a theoretical question? You state you have had sciatic pain for four weeks, do not state if you have seen a Doctor, for diagnosis, x-ray, MRI. The term slipped disc is not longer used, the Disc splits, bulges. The Disc is like a jelly donut, tough outer shell, inside highley inflammatory jelly substance. If the outer shell splits, the jelly leaks out. Depending on what Disc is leaking, depends on if the bowel and bladder can be affected. What they term cauda equine syndrome.
Although low back pain is common and usually goes away without surgery, cauda equine syndrome, a rare disorder affecting the bundle of nerve roots (cauda equina) at the lower (lumbar) end of the spinal cord, is a surgical emergency. An extension of the brain, the nerve roots send and receive messages to and from the pelvic organs and lower limbs. Cauda equina syndrome occurs when the nerve roots are compressed and paralyzed, cutting off sensation and movement. Nerve roots that control the function of the bladder and bowel are especially vulnerable to damage.
If patients with cauda equina syndrome do not get fast treatment to relieve the pressure, it can result in permanent paralysis, impaired bladder and/or bowel control, loss of sexual sensation, and other problems. Even with immediate treatment, some patient may not recover complete function.
I have a Prolapsed disc, so the outer shell has split completly and the nice jelly is spilling into the 'nerve roots' and spinal canal. Most of the time it is not a problem outside of pain, but when the jelly hits something, I litrally loose the use of my legs and the pain is excruciating. However they have told me I am at high risk of loosing my bowel and bladder, so am happy just to loose the legs for a few weeks and not the bowel and bladder. I have endured this now for three years.
That is why I assume this is a therotical question because if you have a disc problem, the Docs need to do a MRI asap! Good Luck

If you wish to find out about the real character of sciatica or why sciatica is really frequent and what every one of these pains are attempting to inform to your system then you need to see this eBook Sciatica SOS from here https://tr.im/yzpMk .
Glenn Johnson is mcdougal of Sciatica SOS. He also was plagued by the illness for quite quite a long time in his early 40s. He claims he was on the list of “Early viruses to be identified as having sciatica”, and he tried out a number of possible therapies that the doctors offered, but they never offered him adequate results.
The eBook Sciatica SOS is unique; it goes the excess distance to help you realize the reason for the issue, what you can do to resolve it and then gives step-by-step recommendations to see you succeed in the treatment.
All this is often accomplished in 1 week or less. It is definitely worth a try.

Answer 4

In a word. Yes.
The nerves control muscles and the colan a one big muscle. When the nerves spasm they can send the impulse to the muscles to relax and constrict.
I have sciatic, it can flare up relay bad sometimes and to top it off I broke my tailbone years ago really badly! When it flares up it has caused the symptoms your describing.
