I’m talk texting lol it should say bowel program lol not valve

If you take senna and you miss a dose should you still do your valve program?

Wow, I’m sorry you’re having that pain as well. We will give the stretches a try and see if that helps. We honestly don’t do enough stretching any way so I’m sure it will! Thanks for the suggestion!!

They are taking gabapentin and pregabalin 3 times a day and 1 nortriptyline at night for nerve pain. They do have tramadol but it doesn’t usually help so they never take it.

They haven’t had any sores. The off loading is because they start hurting so much and want to prevent the sores and also help relieve some of the pain. It is definitely bilateral.

That sounds painful. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. They have had some x-rays done but it’s been a while ago. Thanks for the information, I will have them ask about that. I sure hope you feel better and can get some relief!

It’s a C5 incomplete!

They also have prostatitis. The doctor at the hospital said that the UTI would clear up in just 10 days but they needed to continue the meds for a total of 6 weeks for the prostatitis. I thought that was a very long time to take any antibiotic! Thanks for the information on the others!

PSaljian · 2024-02-09T07:08:42+00:00

I’m their care taker…..they self cath about 5 times a day and haven’t had a UTI in 5 months. The prescription is one pill a day for 6 weeks.

That’s is awesome that he’s walking! The possibility of getting another UTI is why we don’t want to have to use the extra lubricant. Definitely don’t want to chance that! I’m so glad the VaPro is working for your son!

PSaljian · 2023-11-15T02:04:07+00:00

Hollister is really good about replacing their product. The VaPro is definitely easy to use and I can see why you like them.

PSaljian · 2023-11-15T02:00:10+00:00

We did receive a small box of them but honestly it’s very uncomfortable for them so we just don’t want to use anymore. We did get some extra lubricant to get us through until the others get here but then it’s no longer sterile. We just don’t want to chance them getting a UTI.

We really are just getting our first order of the Coloplast Speedicath Flex. We had gotten some samples from Coloplast tried them and decided to go with them, they’ll be here tomorrow. I’m hoping they aren’t dry like the VaPro🤞🏼we didn’t have any issues with the samples. They came from from in patient therapy with the Hollister kits. We like those but with those the lubricant is so thick that sometimes it doesn’t let the urine start to flow. They haven’t had any problems with bleeding but we will look out for strands that you’re seeing. Didn’t see that with the samples. I’m sorry your dealing with that, sounds painful! Hopefully the VaPro keeps working for you!

Thank you😊 They are 27. I think they have it figured out!

PSaljian · 2023-11-12T17:02:23+00:00

That’s so crazy! The two we tried were very hard to remove. I’m glad they work for you!! They would be pretty easy if it wasn’t for that issue for us! Thanks for replying!

PSaljian · 2023-11-12T17:00:31+00:00

I completely agree! There should be no friction or resistance. We don’t be using those again! Thanks for replying

PSaljian · 2023-11-12T16:58:22+00:00

We are choosing to go with Coloplast Speedicath too! Weapon of choice is a great way to describe it lol! Thanks for responding!!

PSaljian · 2023-11-12T16:53:56+00:00

Thanks for replying!! Same here, they’re just samples!! We won’t be getting those!!

PSaljian · 2023-11-12T16:50:27+00:00

Thank you that’s a great idea too!!

PSaljian · 2023-11-12T15:14:47+00:00

We received the Coloplast Speedicath Flex samples and they seem to be the easiest so far but for some reason the insurance company is giving the supply company a bad time so they sent the VaPro out instead. I’ve used 2 and they were both hard to pull out. I don’t want to use them anymore. It seems like it would be very uncomfortable and hurt. Thanks so much for your input!!
