Balance issues, weakness one side of body, neurogenic bladder
Hi,
I am due shortly to be assessed by the neurophysiotherapists, and the treatment is intense, and I have to stay in hospital for one week.
I have neurological symptoms, weakness hand and leg, tingling, and very bad balance. Have had
MRI of neck and Spinal cord, due to have MRI of lumber region, as have neurogenic bladder and they do not know the cause.
Could you tell me what kind of neurophysiotherapy do you think I will be having, and wondering why I have to stay in hospital for a whole week
Thank you

Hard to say specifically, but I have just finished a 5 week placement in neurology, and it takes about a week to fully assess someone new. I should imagine that the physios will be putting you through a number of tests and exercises to help build a picture of your abilities. How this will tie in with your overall treatment is impossible to say without knowing you and what the plans for your stay are.
