giving someone lasix and telling them to cath is cruel & unusual punishment, imho.

i'm on diuretics too and take vesicare for a neurogenic bladder. it works great and i don't have problems. i would definitely try medication before i'd cath. too much risk of getting infections with catheterizing. that's what i think.

i'm surprised your drs didn't explore all the options with you instead of just leaping to catheterizing.
