A member asked:

I have a bulging disc at my l-4 & l-5 and i'm in serious pain with numbness down the back of my leg to my foot and i have not urinated in 2 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urinary retention: If you haven't urinated in two days then you should go to the emergency room now. Urinary retention takes precedence of the the bulging disc. Also the bulging disc may have become a large herniated disc compressing the nerve roots that control bladder function.
