What Causes Difficulty In Urinating While Suffering From Parkinson S Disease?
My father is 80 years old. He has Parkinson s. He had a lamenectomy on his back a month ago. He has also lost the ability to Urinate they believe it was from a pinched nerve thus the surgery on his back. He is complaining of feeling hot but has no fever and aches all over. He also seems a little confused. I am taking care of him. I m not going to pay the $15 or $30 to proceed.
