Being denied a bathroom break in a final

Hey guys, just got done with a final a few days ago and was looking for some perspective from the parents of CC. I'm also aware that there are a few lawyers here who could hopefully weigh in. I'm a senior at a top rated state flagship and was taking a 3 hours philosophy final on Tuesday. During the test I got up to ask the professor if I could go to the bathroom and he said "no". So essentially I had to turn in the exam and get ~30% or hold it for the next hour and be in extreme discomfort and not be able to concentrate. I finished maybe first or second because I was rushing through so quickly since I didn't want to go in class. Needless to say I didn't do nearly as well as I would have and it dropped my grade pretty significantly. Since I'm hoping to go to law school, which is highly GPA oriented, is there anything I can do about this? Is it legal for him to do this to a 24 year old adult? I had an exam on Early Modern Japan that was also 3 hours long just a few days prior to the philosophy exam and he let me go no problem. Do I just have to accept my grade and move on? Should I attempt to fight this? I most likely would have made an A in the class if I was able to focus and this just doesn't seem right to me.
