Difficulty Urinating And Muscle Spasms Posted: 11-13-05 23:39pm
I am 55 years young and I have herniated
discs in my l4-l5-s1. I injured myself
when I was 29 years old. I was all set
to have back surgery in the year of 1999,
when I had a heart attack. My
cardiologist does not feel that back
surgery will help me. I can't get back
surgery while I am taking blood thinners,
and he refuses to take me off of them.
Well anyway, I now have problems
urinating. I have blood coming out and
I have a difficulty urinating. It takes
me sometimes 15 minutes or more to just
relief my bladder. My back specialist
said that it is all related to my back
problem.
I now have severe muscle spasms throughout
my body, especially my legs. At first I
thought it was because I was dehydrated,
so I drank alot of water, juice and even
tonic water. I found out that the
nerves that are pinched by my discs are
causing me to have them. Is there
anyone else out there with these problems.
I also want to tell you that I have a
pharmacy of sort. Listen to what I have
to take everyday of my life. Well I see
a back specialist, I also see a
cardiologist, and my last doctor to teach
me to be sane, is a psychiatrist (this is
recommended by the federal government, who
I am employed by the dod).
i am tired of taking this everyday. I
used to take pills when I was young, but
they were vitamin pills, protein shakes,
all healthy things. I was a
bodybuilder/weightlifter before I got hurt
at work.
For therapy I coach little league baseball
for my grandsons. I also take care my 10
grandkids (not all at once, but sometimes
I have 5 of them).
If there is anyone out there that is in
the same boat as I am, please write to me.
Thanks and god bless. Grandpa al.
