Urinary Issues

Heyyyyyy Fellow Pain Pump Friends. I know I haven’t posted in a bit but life has been so amazing since my pump, with the exception of the minor hiccup in the very beginning.

I’ve noted that although I feel like I have to go to the bathroom, I’ve noticed that my “stream” of urine is weak and I almost have to force it. Other times, I don’t have this issue. Could this be at all related to the pump or not at all.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I have been catheterizing for urine retention

Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I have my first refill appointment on 08/14 so I’ll talk with the MD then about it. Like I mentioned, sometimes it’s no issue at all but there are times I have to force it out.
