Thanks. I think the pain doc wants to do the catheter as a starting point before a possible scs that the ucla doc wanted. What I fear is that when the catheter comes out after twice a day pt I will feel the back lash. I often have delayed pain as well as current.May I ask now what your treatment is or did the cather get you more stable on your own? Do you go to pt or did you with the catheter? The doc said for me the pt is a must for the range of motion and strength training. I have increase my walking on my own but that is not enough to help with the pain. Thanks for your response. I hope you feel better and your husband too.
