Sorry to hear this and prayers for your son. I went through ACDF surgery back in 2020. I had Cervical radiculopathy on my left side and loss use of my left arm. I was in terrible pain months before the surgery because of the severe Impingement on the spinal cord in my neck. During that time I had a bladder issue. I would have a slight urge to go to the bathroom and by the time I made it to the bathroom it was almost too late every time. I almost pissed my pants so many times, I lost count. A few of those times I just went right into the shower because I knew I would not make it. It was like my brain and bladder were not communicating properly. It was several months after the surgery before things started to get back to normal. Is he VA? If so, keep bringing it up until it gets addressed. Unfortunately that is how the VA works sometimes. I'm a Vet as well. Had my surgery at the WPB VA in FL.
