Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

It seems you have suffered neurogenic bladder after that catastrophic event. It has been three years so chance of recovery of bladder function is poor. However, you should see a urologist for a reevaluation. Good luck.

Yes there are. Suggest you find a Urologist who specializes in Neuro-Urolog at an academic center. Hopefully the problem will be found and corrected. Good luck
