Neurogenic Bowel: What Twenty Years With a Spinal Cord Injury Actually Taught Me

July 17, 2026•2 min read
*[DRAFT — currently unpublished. This is Mark's own first-person account; worth deciding deliberately whether you want something this personal and medically specific public, versus keeping it for a more targeted audience.]* I broke my neck on July 2nd, 2003, forced to crash-land a two-seat airplane into the Minnesota River Valley after engine failure on takeoff. That day changed a lot of things, but two areas affect daily life with spinal cord injury more than almost anything else: neurogenic bowel and neurogenic bladder — or, plainly, pooping and peeing. Calling it all "neurogenic bowel" actually understates things. Basically everything after swallowing becomes neurogenic in some form. My stomach still sends signals, but they're delayed, altered, sometimes just wrong. As a C5 quad, I can still feel pressure and pain internally in my intestines — push on my lower gut and I feel it inside, though nothing external, and nothing at all below my armpits otherwise. The part that matters most long-term: the lower intestine slows to roughly half speed — what's clinically called low motility. Skip a daily low-grade stimulant laxative like Senna, and things get considerably worse. And yet, more than two decades after I was first prescribed it, a gastroenterologist without real SCI expertise will often tell you daily Senna use is "abuse" or "misuse" — a claim that was never mentioned when it was originally prescribed, and doesn't reflect how SCI bowel management actually works long-term.
