I have a slipped disc now having probs with my water works is this related?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It may: A badly slipped disk may cause problems with urination. This problem needs to be evaluated as soon as possible. Most likely these problems are not related but not checking can have long lasting consequences.

There is a 1% chance: Most herniated discs are self limiting & get better with 10% going on to surgery. Most are not serious or dangerous with only 1% leading to a condition related to bowel/bladder control issues known as a cauda equina syndrome that requires emergent surgery. Occasionally, disc herniations in the thoracic & cervical regions can lead to spinal cord compression or myleopathy that also needs surgery.

I think I may've punctured my ear drum on Saturday morning. I had blood thru the day on Saturday, but has stopped now. I had a RN friend of mine look at it Sunday morning and everything we could find on line is that it should heal itself, and to not let water get in it.She asked some of the people at the hospital that she works with and they said the same thing. I don't want to go to doctor because of the Covid stuff nowadays, so was hoping you could help. punctured ear drum?
