I have a Urology Appointment Friday afternoon hopefully to get my Catherter changed to a bigger size from a 16 to an 18 hopefully will stop the Leaking from happening.
I am also getting inflammation inside just above my Pelvis feels yuck like it is their all the time.
I have asked for more naproxen but they won't give me anymore yet.
Can you make 2 but urine cus that's what it seems like to me.
I have a doctors appointment tommorow will see what they say.

Hi Dolphin500 . Sorry to hear you are still in some pain and discomfort with your catheter. Hopefully they will be able to sort you out on Friday and your GP can sort you out with some pain relief tomorrow. Best wishes.
Dear Dolphin500, the only thing I would mention is: have they given you Omeprazole or Lansoprazole or similar to take as well as the naproxen? No one should take naproxen without one of those, as I understand it. Naproxen will damage your stomach taken without the stomach protective other tablets. For me it still caused me trouble after a few months on it for joint issues, despite taking the omeprazole and never ever taking the naproxen without food either. This may be a reason they won't give you more.

Hi to all,
I have been to urology today they said cannot change size of catheter as I did have size 12 & district nurses changed it to a size 16 still getting leaking might need a size 12 when I have it changed at hosp next & and operation to make the whole smaller cus the size shouldn't have been changed.
Just said cover where hole is and tape tube 1 inch up but that's still not going to help is it still going to be in the same situation.
Clothes still going to be wet.
