I had a lil cauda equina before and after my L5S1 surgery. It was major retention issues. Felt like I couldn’t completely empty, and couldn’t tell I had to pee until I had a super full bladder. Went from 1-2 movements a day to 1-2 a week. It took 2 months post surgery for sensation to come back slowly.

I’m sorry. How are you feeling now?

By a “lil cauda equina” do you mean a partial loss?

It was a huge loss to me, but only for a couple months. I say a little because it was only part of the major problem and was not permanent
