Hello Kimber,

"I also have uriary retention" - I am not a doctor, however I have read enough to know that that is an emergency situation. You MUST seek emergency medical care immediately or you most certainly risk permanant nerve damage.

I can't believe what your neurosurgeons have told you. Find the best spinal surgeon you can tomorrow. Talk with the doctor directly if at all possible. If no response, then PLEASE go to the ER for immediate care.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
