Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain During Urination
Question: I wonder what drug I take is causing a huge problem with urination. I am bone on bone in both knees and am told I need both knees replaced but that I would not heal or survive. I am in the bathroom almost every hour. Also, have no circulation in lower leg so doctor would do angioplasty first. Do not know what to do.
Thanks. XXXXX

Brief Answer:
Please specify your urinary problems in detail
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks fr query .Based on the facts that you have Bilateral Osteo Arthritis of the knee joints and need Bilateral knee replacements .But the surgery is being considered to be high risk on the grounds of you having Cardiac problems and Urinary problems .
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) What are your urinary problems apart from increased frequency for urination ?
The urinary problems at this age in females are mostly due to UTI resulting from incomplete emptying of bladder due to senile narrowing of urethral passage (Urethral Stenosis ) However this can be corrected and cured by urethral calibration and taking appropriate antibiotics .
As regards cardiac problems doing angioplasty will help to improve cardiac circulation and ejection factor .
With due precaution and proper preoperative assessment , treatment and advancement in field of anesthesia and surgery I think the risk involved in surgery of knee replacement can be minimized .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.

I don't think I would survive knee replacement surgery because the doctors said I would not heal. I have had 7 angioplasties done on my left leg due to very poor circulation.
I do not have a urinary problem other than frequency and also have a very dry mouth. The pharmacist said this was due to meds.
I also have a kidney problem and am in the final stage. This doctor said I am high risk.
I also have many heart problems. I had 2 heart attacks while in hospital having the angioplasties. Still don't know what to do with increasing pain. Thanks Dr. Pati. XXXXX

Due to a liver transplant (NASH) in 2008 at Northwestern, I am not allowed to take pain killers. I am not suffering too much at this point. FYI... the urination problem is not at all a factor in this problem. The lack of leg circulation is a big factor. I'm sure the heart arteries are clogged too. There is no "tolerable level" for pain killers. I do an INR blood test every month and pain killers affect those numbers.
I am not in misery at this time. Perhaps a new procedure will come along that I can go through. We should be moving forward in medicine and I hope to hear of something new and helpful. Thanks! XXXX
