KEDASO is on a distinguished road
Default Isn't there anyone here with a urinary foley catheter???

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE--I put a post up, entitled,
"I am pleading to speak to a male with a urinary catheter."
I am sure there are people here with a foley catheter, and I am sure
they must have run into the same problem I have run into, and I need
to find out how people helped solve the problem.
My PCP told me he has run out of things to try to solve the problem,
and can only think that a supra-pubic catheter would be the only thing
left to do.
I am trying not to get a supra-pubic catheter, as that would prevent me
from going into a pool, where I get weekly aquatic therapy that my
neuro has me doing, to prevent my legs from contracting up,
and I totally enjoy the aquatic therapy.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE--can someone read my prior post,
and answer if they had the same problem.
It would be greatly appreciated, THANK YOU.
Ken

Sorry no one has responded. There aren't many who have catheters here so you may not get the response you are looking for. I hope there is someone who can offer some insight.

Hi Ken. Sorry we haven't been more help. Hate sending people away but if you check at patients like me.com and type foley catheter in their site search, they have some info that might help. Let me know if any of it helps.
