Bladder & Bowel | Forum profile

hiya I have had my bowel programme done on my right side before, and have not really noticed any difference to my left side, maybe a little bit longer but not noticeably so. I use Microlax which is a mini enema, I do this every day and have not noticed any side effects other than a lot of noisy wind before the rectum starts emptying lol. As far as doing a quick bowel routine I don't know if I can be of any help, it says on the Microlax...

Karl - alrighty then, count me in on the dark side! Vern - thank you very much. We're still in the very early stages of filing the claims and I'll see how it works out. I'm sure I will have MANY questions as time goes by. Meanwhile, I'll be hanging out on the dark side

Thanks for the response. Went to the ER Friday night and they said I had a stone in the bladder and a few in the Kidneys but basically just said I had to wait out the pain until they pass.

I have a Suprapubic Catheter which is changed every 5 weeks. I use a catheter which has silver threads in it and have never had a UTI.

It started off with tingling in my lower legs and now I get tingling, pins and needles, numbness and pain in my hands and legs too. I was sent for an MRI which was inconclusive.

Forget home remedies. If you think you have kidney stones, or kidney infection, get yourself to a doctor.

QUOTE (neotrin @ Nov 13 2009, 11:50 AM) Hi, I've been on here before and have had a supra pubic catheter for the past 3 years. I thought it was the best thing I ever did and still do, but I've been having some "autonomic dysreflexic" symptoms. I'm a c4,5,6 quadriplegic and was wondering if there's anything I can do. I'm almost positive it's due to my catheter. I get it changed...

I have a SP and it's the biggest problem I have. Long story short I started getting bad spasms a few years after getting one back in 1988. Since my bladder was always draining it shrank which allowed the tube to hit my bladder wall. After having lots of spasms and getting dydreflexia often I asked them to remove it, but was told my bladder was too small and too scarred to be stretched out again. That ruled out cathing, unless I wanted to...
