I too had a bladder injury from my hysterectomy. I had my hysterectomy in ocotober of 2004 and I am still dealing with residual effects from the bladder injury. Mine went undetected for 4 months. I had constant drainage (going through a minimum of 28 sanitary napkins a day). This is very discouraging and unless you have been through it (thank god I have found I am not the only one) you would never understand how frustrating it is.
