how long have had PN
In July 2011, i had an accident which caused a fractured t12 and i had surgery to repair. The bones are healed however now i'm dealing with the actual injury...the after affects.
i do not have much movement in my right ankle/toes. my right calf/hamstring is VERY weak. i have a numbness-like sensation in my feet. Overall very little muscle in my lower body. I have swelling in my ankles at night when i've spent most the day on my feet.
I have bowel & bladder problems...was suggested by my urologist just today that my best bet is to take vesicare and cath at least 2 times a week in order to decrease likelihood of infection (i did a urine sample before my appt and have bacteria present...given more antibiotics!). I see a gastro on thursday.
Any suggestions welcome...tips/experiences/pros/cons/etc...
Thanks in advance
