Hi there, Re bladder "Numbness" , I have found since my hip replacement 2 years ago that I have no sensation of fullness in my bladder and no urge to wee either. In this respect, my bladder is numb! So I have to keep an eye on how much I have drank and the time to get an idea of when to go to the loo. Or I just go when I think about it. But anyway I have wondered if this numbness could have been caused by the spinal anaesthetic that I had for the operation. I have asked if it could be because of something that happened during the actual operation but they doubt it so the next thing is the anaesthetic. Could my nerves be damaged somehow? Not good having no feeling in my bladder.
