Hello, I had a urine infection followed by low pressure ( fainting level),vomit, severe body aches (joints), sore throat, due to the catheter, had to admission to hospital by an ambulance, undergone a blood test, urine test after changing the old urine bag, I had a Salian, pain killer, I experienced a brief rash, rash gone away, after sometime, was stable, with persistent joint pain, med’s were antibiotic,pain killer, water consumption, urination flow pressure back to normal, I hope it’ll maintain.

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that you had a serious infection due to leaving the catheter in for so long. Thank goodness you got treatment and things have stabilized. Will the catheter be changed more frequently now?
