Bowel issues after Botox (updated)
Hello everyone I posted about a week ago regarding my friend/client losing all bowel retention following bladder Botox. I got a lot of comments saying to change her bowel program but unfortunately with the severity of the incontinence (always diarrhea) her bowel programs have ceased entirely. She is now housebound, trips are needing to be canceled. Extensive research has led me to believe the shot was done wrong and it somehow migrated to the colon and it advised her to call the urologist. When the urologist was called he shut her down saying it's a PCP issue and not at all related to Botox. Well PCP was called and stool samples taken. Everything came back clear and negative. We have spent hours crying together over the loss of any quality of life. She's also risking bladder infections because all the liquid she drinks goes right into her bowel. Her urine output after 16hr was only 300ml. I'm just so lost right now as to how I can help her. Could she take legal action against this doctor? No bowel side effects were disclosed when she made the appointment.
