I recently ( sept) had a fall from 6 feet backwards onto concrete, I was taken to hospital and went into AUR (acute urinary retention where you cant wee atall) so was catheterized,
Mri showed no damage to spine ! The urologist couldn’t explain the reason for my AUR and my lower back is very painful since I fell,
Could the force of a heavy fall have caused my AUR or could the mri have missed something ?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Re: Help !
Some SCI can only be seen on t2 MRI. Though rare a cracked rib can cause SCI. With MRI there will always be radiological evidence. This was not always the case with x-rays.
Most likely your urinary tract has just gone evil post-SCI. External urethral sphincter now blocks catheters?
Voiding post-SCI without a sphincterotomy is dangerous. If you can no longer get catheters in then will need suprapubic catheter or sphincterotomy.

With low SCI then can just cut EUS, with a higher injury they do BN as well. If EUS is cut you will trigger void. If both are cut you will leak constantly.
