Hi to all.  Well my experience hasn't been as bad at all compared to ya all.  I was just wondering if any of you had urinary retention.  I can relieve some but never all.  I went to the er and they said this can be normal for some people.  Its just a lazy bladder.  I'm wondering if its from the norco?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    Hi Rhonda

    It's normal had same will take few weeks it's because the operation has caused swelling and down there it's all close together .

      THANk you Micky,   I just got back from the er and they gave me a pill that will relax my bladder.   If that doesn’t help I will have to have a catheter.   Wish me luck.

      I have another question.   What meds do I take after I’m done with the pain meds?    I believe I was told no Tylenol.   But just confirming

    Did they not make sure you could pass urine before you left the hospital ? When I had the operation they had sure I did and if I did not they would not let you leave.
