Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 SB, I hope you call the Dr who did the epidural and let him know what is going on... if you have never had symptoms like that before and you were not told to expect that. Never hurts to check. Let us know what they say...Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 SB, It's been a couple of days. Are you feeling any better? Bonnie [ ] how totally bizarre On my way back to bed, I stopped by the bathroom. I thought I had missed the toilet since my butt is numb. I couldn't feel myself pee and my crotch is totally numb. Couldn't kegel at all.gee, and I was planning to drive to las vegas on wednesday. I sure hurt a lot to be so numb.> > After doing the treatments, he said the nerve holes have gotten so > small that he had a hard time getting the needle in the right spot. > He kept asking, do you feel that going down your leg?

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Suzanne, Well, you've been quite busy since you finished school! I hope you are feeling better now. I was stunned to read your report on your dr. appt. I certainly did not expect him to write you a referral based on what the PA said. I'm anxious to see how long it will take you to get in to see Dr. Bridwell. My next appt. is on July 31st...just so you know. I hope you have regained sensation and that your pain is subsiding. Call me if/when you are up to lunch. kam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I think I was offered an appointment with Bridwell for July 7, but I will be on the beach then, so I took July 21. I am not sure if it will work out with hubby's schedule I think Dr referred me to Bridwell because they trained together and he thinks Bridwell will vouch for him. But, he really came across with Bridwell's name after I asked who he would send his wife or daughter to. He also mentioned DeWald in Chicago. At the moment, I am in Las Vegas! The sensation in my legs returned sometime on Tuesday while I was packing. The drive was ok, even though there were not as many places to get out and stretch as I would have liked. My daughter did about 5 hours of the driving, but it made me nervous (especially through Albuquerque). I was very impressed with my husband's car. It originally belonged to my dad and is the stereotypical old man car -- a Buick LeSabre. The seat adjusts up and down, and forward and back --even the bottom part. I was able to drive comfortably, but I am not looking forward to doing it again next week. And I am not thrilled about driving to Miami a week later -- I am hoping for a good air fare sale. Hubby is changing jobs next week, so I will have to see if my dates with Bridwell work for him after he knows more about his July schedule. > > I'm anxious to see how long it will take you to get in to see Dr. > Bridwell.
