Hi, i had the surgery three months ago.But i'm doing great as far as walking, i'm no longer using a cane.I had sever anxiety 13 years a go after i has my bladder stretched and the dr put me on ciprofiloxin and the side effects were nasty, thats when i developed gad.I had a previous hip replacemeent 9 years ago and my nerves were fine!The physical therapy was rough this time. The stretching is what woked on my nerves so bad, it worked on my bladder since i got an overactive bladder! When they did the surgery, thry put a catheter up my bladder and put me on narcotics that make the bladder lazy! NIow i'm going through menopause and that can cause urinary frequency. I'm 52, i thought i was getting better! But n ow i got that on my mind! I got a boyfiend who is vwery supportive, i live in pa.I'm uneplyed, since i'm disabled.I'm single at the moment.I got a great socail life since i enjoy going to carnivals , yard sales and flea markets with my boyfriend! I'm on the computer, becaise its a distraction and i watch tv, listen to music and read books. I'm really trying to get better!
