    I got like that about 2 months ago. I was up one night in excruciating pain. I ended up in emergency room. I never had this problem before. I do get a lot of spasms and it's irritating. That my bladder wouldn't work. Then she gave me these things were she called it a one use. She Said 1 in the morning 1 in the evening. I was thinking we'll shoot I'll be more often than that if I'm going to be throwing it away it after 1 use I'm drink supposed to drink about 8 cups of water a day. Water itself makes me go like a tea . I had a bladder infection so I had to drink more water. I kind of got off coffee years ago. I'll be in too much reflux. Now I even drink maybe like 1 or 2 a month. And I'll drink a little light not heavy strong. I had to stop drinking sodas cuz carbonation and caffeine was bad. I quit drinking soda cold turkey . What I don't understand if you're going to urinate every 2 or 3 hour's. And they tell you only use 1 catheter 1 time . I could end up using about 5 a day on catheters. Can irritate your urethra and bladder. I'm finding I have to use more a day. Cuz I get up in the night to have to use another. Almost feels like I'd rather had the bag 1 that you don't have to use a bag but you still leave it in. The only thing I'm finding out if I don't have to use a donut pillow to sit down because of the catheter stays in all the time. And hurts to sit Down on the catheter all day. liked it better that way actually. I thought even had to carry a bottle and I could use a tube sticking out on my waste and I'm not worried about having to go to the find a bathroom to use a catheter. And I don't drink late night. I've notice they tell you just to drink a few sips of water at night hours at night. Few sips put me into the pressure mode to use another catheter. Anybody else have problems like that or how something can change or how to change it.? I'm never had depression in my life. So this thing really put you on a spin.

    Just a suggestion- have someone modify a pair of dress pants for you - you know like those jogging pants with the zipper- that way you can unzip on the days you have therapy to access your legs. The last thing you want is develop rotator cuff problems- all that twisting of your shoulder in the chair, is straining the shoulder - not good. Safer to get dressed in the bed. Take care of those shoulders as much as you can! Kind of reminds me of someone I knew who had a stroke and he learned to do a lot of things one handed but he also used his teeth- well his teeth started coming out and he stated "I feel like I am running out of resources" :-) Not funny but the way he said it was very cute Correlate this- take care of the what works vs misusing it- think repetitive strain injury- treat yourself gentle.

    C5 quad for 20 years. Got a little chubby after 10 years of marriage. Haha. I've always kept a workout regiment. 30 minutes of hand cycling on a Saratoga everyday and then I work out 3 to 4 days a week on an upper tone machine. Even with that I gained a little weight. Noticed my clothes weren't fitting as well as they once had. Switched to the keto lifestyle and the weight just melted off. Still have a little quad belly but my clothes fit a lot better. Dropped 40 lb in like 6 months and all I have to do is maintain now. Keto doesn't mean just eat fatty shitty foods either. It's healthy fats, protein and vegetables. It's a sacrifice of a lot of good foods but your energy levels will increase and slimming down just comes with it. Best decision I've ever made, especially after 20 years of being in a chair. It revitalized me.

      Thanks for the information. We are similar in a lot of ways. It sounds like you found something that works well for you. I'm at the point where I need to make a change. I gained some weight and it's harder to do the things I do daily like dressing and transferring. I love food, but energy and independence are far more important. I think clean eating is key on many levels along with consistent exercise and strength training. I will look into Keto. Take care!

    My neighbor who is a quadriplegic and has been in a chair for over 30 years just last year switched to a suprapubic system and now does not have to self catheterize anymore. He said the difference is amazing and very good. I have MS so we are always chatting on the street when we see each other. He fills me in on the latest that he is doing.

      That's awesome. Thank you for the information. Yeah I have thought about switching, but the catheterization has been pretty good so far. But I'm definitely open to it in the future. Take care.

      I can walk around . But my bladder started like that 2 months ago. How is running to the bathroom every 5 or 10 minutes. I was actually timing my trips and how often. I ended up in the depends pants and the other stuff. I had an infection of the bladder. They gave me an antibiotic one side effect is that was rare said I could turn your bladder it can stop urination. I'm still going to look into that because. Possibility is the antibiotic. That's probably what put me into this problem. Only took the antibiotic 2 days. By the second night I was in extreme pain I ended up in emergency room. Had to be catheterized to drain the urine .

      What I hate about she changed me the one use twice a day. I can't urinate just twice in 24 hour's. To me my doctor didn't make no sense. Only thing I could take from that as maybe she was trying to change my bladder to go back longer hours to urinate I don't know. She didn't really explain what she was really doing.
