Do they know the cause of your urinary retention and how long have you had this?

There are neurological causes of urinary retention. What tests and imaging have they done (ultrasound, MRI, CT scan, etc.)? Have you seen a neurologist?

What are all of your current symptoms beyond urinary retention? You may want to have your brain and cervical spine checked with MRI to see if there is anything affecting your central nervous system and communication to your bladder. I have cervical spine compression/myelopathy and it can cause urinary retention or control issues plus many other symptoms below your neck.
