This was very helpful, because it is an embarrassing situation but it is real.

I’m glad you found it helpful but sorry you’re dealing with it💛

I had my fair share of accidents after my stroke. Quite embarrassing. One of the major reasons I don’t leave my house anymore. Cause u never know

[@faisalahmad3309]

I suffered a stroke in January 2023
Had a few incidents
So I
Controlled what I ate
Small portion
No added salt
Any greens
And time my self every Evening
And
She said it all I follow

I could not hold my urine after the first stroke. I was ashamed at first but then I stopped caring because I was so impressed with other improvements. Thankfully, my bladder became regular again.🎉

[@faisalahmad3309]

AMEN

[@rgseven6557]

Glad to know your bladder function became regular. Dont mind me asking did you do any exercises to restore your bladder? My mum just had a stroke and needs help :(

This is one heck of a video to check in on 😂 but it's been awhile, and as always good to see you, queen ( I've been super busy and tired ), and I'm glad ( but not surprised ) you're keeping up the quality and usefulness of your videos.

[@PostStrokeOrg]

Hahaha you know me, I try to keep it real! I hope with all the busy-ness you’re taking care of yourself💛

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@PostStrokeOrg 😂 Real indeed. The world needs your kind of real. And I'm trying to take care of me, thank you ❤️

[@raniasham3176]

You’re amazing… that’s exactly my dad’s issue after his 4th stroke in1 yr
I’m watching you from canada

[@PostStrokeOrg]

Thank you for the kind words! I hope both you and your dad are doing well❤️

[@faisalahmad3309]

Thankyou

[@agohio8366]

Thank you
Very Helpful
God bless you

[@PostStrokeOrg]

You are welcome! Thank you for the kind words ❤️

[@sagapoetic8990]

Thank you for this -- it's great to know this can be due to other conditions affecting the neurology system. Would this include those infections that do that, too? Also, for people who use tens unit -- is there a risk if they use a tens unit in the back area that is level with the bladder and use the tens unit for long periods of time? My mom loves her tens unit but can leave it on for long periods and I'm not sure that is good to do?

[@PostStrokeOrg]

Of course! Thanks for all of your great questions. But these questions are more appropriate for your mom's therapist or doctor. She needs recommendations that are personalized to her specific situation and unfortunately, I can't make that judgment call via UA-cam. TENs placement and time worn should be evaluated by an in-person healthcare professional to make sure she's within safety recommendations 🙂

Going on 3 months since my stroke. I'm home now because my insurance won't cover more time at rehab. I still can't move my arm, hand, knee or ankle. Can you do a video showing exercises on how to wake up those joints to be able to move them?thanks for considering. Love your content

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@tokyoredmedia, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so sorry to hear that insurance won't cover any more rehab.
I actually have a few videos you may find helpful if you don't have any movement at all:
Mirror Therapy: ua-cam.com/video/5zwsN44wQbQ/v-deo.html
Mental Practice: ua-cam.com/video/cG7XREpe-cQ/v-deo.html

[@faisalahmad3309]

Insurance is a scam
The hospital care about cost
U will get well GOD willing.
Just have to adjust
And move forward
I'm recuperating from stroke
As well
Watching UA-cam stroke video s
It's improving .
Bless us GOD
U stay well

[@marcypope466]

I have a question. Why did my stroke symptoms only show after my surgery and radiation?

[@rolandoroselljr6022]

thats true its a struggle really

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@rolandoroselljr, have you found anything that's been helpful for you?

[@kamalpandeysonu7496]

Stroke 3 ,age 27

[@satyendesai2576]

To strengthen sphincter my physiotherapist makes me sleep and bend both legs from knee and then press a ball with knees
If you find this suitable, you may choose to include in future videos
I hope this helps someone

[@PostStrokeOrg]

Thank you for sharing what has worked for you!

[@samanthasims7123]

Thank u

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@samanthasims, You're welcome!

[@raniasham3176]

Have a question plz how we can mange the schedule if someone on lasix?

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@raniasham, That's a great question. Lasix and other diuretics (medications that remove fluid from the body and make you pee alot) can make setting up a schedule difficult. You'll want to find out if that person is actually experiencing incontinence or just having to go so often because of the medicine. You may have to set the scheduled times closer together. Unfortunately, those meds can make it difficult to successfully try a bathroom schedule.
