The burning could be the results of infection, irritation or chemicals. Most Urologist do not know who to work with SCI Quads. And it takes time. I will forward a copy of this to my contacts with the Nal SCI Assoc. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/15/2011 1:00:38 A.M. Central Daylight

For some, its easy. Rehab Program and doctor's referrals. However, for others, it is not always that easy. Besides a good primary doctor, you will also require a good Urologist and Rehab Medicine Doctor. If you live close to a major sci rehab center the task will be much easier.
