After surgery question
November 4, I had an abdominal hysterectomy.Everything was removed. I am having trouble urinating. Is this something that gets better or should I contract my doctor...
Hey Cherie, thanks for all the help you are giving me....However I am back with a few new problems hoping maybe you can give me some ideas for these instead of going back once again to the doctor...
First I was put on cymbalta right away instead of hormones due to be highly allergic to most hormones (crazy I know) For the most part the cymbalta is helping but there was 2 days were I did take the right dose and 1 day i had to go without till i got a refill...well that day i had a seizure and huge panic attack....I am doing better from that and back on the meds and feeling better with that. Now I am having "jerking movements in my legs and hips i don't know if this is a side affect of the meds also I am have this crazy noise in my ears after they pop, (sooo don't know how to explain the sound or feeling but its driving me crazy)
The top of my incision is infected...I have some left over antibotics, and some cream that I can put on it, Do you think that will be ok?
Well there ya go, once again tons of questions, I am soo smart for all the crazy questions. Thank you !!!!

Ms Marlowe..you need to contact dr immediatley or go to ER ( IMMEDIATLEY) if the blood is bright red and alot...you could be shedding stitches...are you using stool softner..
as for the urinary problems even if you where catherised it should be gone now unless you have a uti...burning? hesitancy w urination? sometime Ms. Marlow there is an acciental surgical error wher the urinary tract is a bit traumitised due to the fact that all female organs are so close to it...if this the case..it will heal in time..there is special meds that can help w urinary hesitancy or if its a UTI they will give appropiate antibiotic.
Watch your diet go on soft foods for at least 4 days..I mean mac n chees . mashed potatoes, oatmeal, puddings anything that is physically soft.
get back w me ok...call your dr stat or go to er if pain is bad if your loosing sutures that should still be in place due to straining..that needs correction. If its just because your constipated,,,easy fix colace..but do ask your dr and see your dr this is way to important to dissmiss.
good luck/ Cherie
