Urodynamics Investigation
Hey there everyone...well I finally got my Urodynamics Investigation and it came up to I have a small bladder ..and Irritable bladder and deffinate protrusion through the vaginal wall and soemthing else...but I cannot remember cause my Dr has had me on Morphine shots for the past couple days and now I am sitting here with a bag hooked up to me ..they had to cath me cause there was so much pain...and I am also on Opium and Belladonna suppositories...so as it is right now I have no pain... the reason they cathed me was cause my bladder was not draining properly and was causing alot of discomfort...along with the protrusion...my god it felt like my bladder was falling out of me ...but now I am happy and feeling no pain..hopefully they will fix it soon..they cannot get a hold of my Uro right now and my family dr wants him to do a hydrodistention now ...so hopefully they will do that soon. hi

Hi there...
I had my second urodynamics test done yesterday and it was totally different than the first one. I had it done by the same nurses and done at the same place but my body reacted totally different. I was in so much pain that I had to call my husband to pick me up because i could not drive home. I have some kind of prolapsed bladder and urethra so it was really uncomfortable. It just goes to show you that everyone at any time will react different to the same procedure. Sharing stories is good but it may not give you a complete picture of what you are going to go through.
Good luck to all, Tina C hiComment

Darla,
I had to Cath after my fourth hydro, cysto, ect in the hospital. The first two days I could not even walk, but then something magical happened, on the third day, the pain was gone, and I actually had a good nights sleep considering not having to get up to use the bathroom. But the pain was so much decreased. The downside to it was since I am a nurse, I was told I could not miss work, so I had to work with the Cath and "leg bag", even though no one could see it, when they found out about it they fired me a week later. But as for anyone with a Cath in right now and is in pain, you may want to add a cream to the urethral area, it is called EMLA and it works very well for some people. Esp, if you have had relief from lidocaine being injected in your bladder before an instillation. My prayers are with all of you!

Is EMLA prescription? or OTC?
Darla, Have you considered legal action? I would think that is a possibility.LizComment
