In 1998 I had a csection for a frist birth. At 6 week checkup told dr I could not feel my bladder, had to feeling to urineate, couldn't even tell when bladder was very full. He said I had a major surgery and it would take quite some time to heal and get back to normal. I saw him a year later, again told him I had no sensations, he again said it would take time, was major surgery, etc. He moved away a few months later, I became pregnant with second child, and saw new dr. mentioned to new dr that I was having problems with kidney pain because of not waking at night to urnineate, since I had to sesation to do so, asked how long she thought it would be until I could feel bladder again, and what if this second child was csection, would it be another couple of years until I felt anything. She said I never should have lost sensation, and as soon as I delivered current child, she'd refer me to specialist. I have since seen specialist, did tests, bladder is fine, works great, just no sensation. Dr's think it maybe nerve damage done during csection, I will need to see a neurologist next. Should I get a lawyer before continuing to see new dr, or wait until all testing is done? It has now been 2 years and 4 months since csection and onset of trouble. I am angry that dr who did csection did not refer me for assistance right away and lied and said it was normal. I have spoken to many drs and nurses and no one has heard of anyone losing sensation like this. I feel he knew this and was just stalling me hoping I would not look into it further. If he hadn't moved out of state, I wouldn't have, because I'd still be seeing him and he'd still be putting me off about it. What should I do next?
