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.
