I have had a lumbar epidural for pain in my back due to ruptured discs. This just started about 6 months ago. No injury..dr said could just be age (41).
I had a procedure done for an overactive bladder done last Friday. I had the cysto done and that came back as the lower half of my bladder was covered with cysts and they expanded my bladder. Came out of anesthesia fine. Then the next night i went to sit up in bed and felt like electricity went through my body and now from my little toes all the way up to my bottom on just the back side of my leg is tingly and numb. Pain just shoots through that leg so intense that I shake and just cry. Cant sit in one position for longer than a few minutes and cant stand for longer than 5 min. Am on crutches at this point and today is Saturday so it has been over a week since procedure.
That is not all, now I also have blood in my stools which came about 2 days after procedure. The urologist or my Family Doctor are not testing my stools to find out why. I made myself an appointment myself with the doctor that found my moms colon cancer.
I was scheduled for an MRI Friday but could not do it because when I tried to lay down the pain was too excruciating..my leg would shake to where I could not control it. SO....they are going to put me under in order to do the MRI. They asked if I had history of MS i my camily which I do not. I looked up sysmtoms and do not think that is it. The Urologist says that this is not related to the procedure what so ever. But, before the "procedure" I could walk and did not have blood in my stools.
This pain is triple childbirth..I can handle pain but I almost pass out with this pain.
I really dont care if the preocedure caused it or not, I just want to walk again.
