A member asked:

Can a pinched nerve of the l4, l5, s1, or s2 (racepinephrine) cause difficulty passing stool, i.e., rectum/sphincter won't relax/function properly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?cauda equina syndr.: If you possess a large ruptured disk in the lower back which compresses multiple nerve roots, or if you have lumbar stenosis, this could affect both bowel and bladder, but a localized pinched nerve at the root level otherwise will have not influence on bowel dysfnctn.
