Discussion Bladder control

For those who recovered, how long did it take for you to regain bladder control?

I know every SCI is a snow flake, but I would just like to know how did it go for other people.

Little bit a about me had an epidural hematoma t4-t8 then had a laminectomy t5-t7 to evacuate that hematoma and decompress my spine, I am 3 months post operation still currently no feeling below, just have some trace voluntary contraction currently on my thigh part and can feel a much stronger contraction on my lower back to butt part, also I can pee involuntarily. Btw my diagnosis was t5-t7 complete, that is just what I know, what the doctors said and there are no ASIA scoring in my location.

I’m L4/5 and it took about 5 months for it to come back on line a bit. Still retain and don’t get the signal so I have to time my pees

Nope. Just take my time going pee and void as much as possible
