Hi,
so were you using it for painful spasms or urinary urgency and incontinence. I hope you don't mind me asking. It is very very expensive here, because it's not approved on our drug lists it cost me $65 for a packet but I would pay $1000 for something to help me at the moment (if I had the money)... I just want to fix the burning feeling I have and the spasms.. oh and the incontinence would be a bonus too but that is not my major issue, well not this week anyway.
My doctor said that this may be causing some of the incontinence. Anyways...She did a urinalysis and some blood work to check me for lupus and diabetes and all came back normal except the urinalysis. It showed microscopic blood. She put me on antibiotics and gave me enablex and detrol (neither which have worked). I went back in for a recheck and the repeat urinalysis was exactly the same as before.
On celexa, tried oxybutinin and myrbetriq. Gave me anxiety. Is enablex a good choice? Side effect of celexa was frequent urination. Eneblex only one that didn't cause anxiety, but side effects are bad. Anybody?
I'm not sure how to describe what I'm feeling or even if it's real or imagined from nervousness. My left side only...leg from about knee down, not feet and my left lower arm/hand feels "weird"...mostly at night when I get in bed and lay to watch t.v. I think my left hand feels weird when I'm typing, not fingers. I have no "pain" , numbness, tingling...just a weird, mild feeling. Sometimes a small shakiness.
My PCP told me Tuesday that he doesn't want to give me anymore steroids because of what is going on with my stomach. He said he may be willing to place me on only 5 mg. a day, so I called him yesterday. He told me "no". If I get to where I have problems walking, I'm sure he won't leave me hanging.
The thing is, I've been to six spinal doctors since 11/2008 and they all refer me to someone else.
this when I had my post op Appt I never truely got an answer then I went back to her she gave me some Enablex that never truely help with the no sensation to urinate nor the having feeling when having sex can some one tell me what is going on?
s leaking/dripping and gushing urine. He was taking a medicine for two weeks previously for gerd called esomeprezole (nexium) which was causing him to be incredibly thirsty drinking huge amounts. We stopped themedicine and the thirst is better but incontinence remains. We've had multiple tests, urine, blood, diabetes, MRI, ultrasound all normal. The drs are baffled! I'm at this moment in hospital awaiting a urilogy Dr on monday .
My daughter was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation (due to balance issues) in November of 2007 by a radiologist and confirmed by a pediatric neurologist. In January we saw a neurosurgeon who disputed the diagnosis (we weren't wanting surgery for that anyway - just a diagnosis). Then we had an MRI of the lower spine done due to issues with incontinence, leg pain and weakness.
Thanks for your response. What would you consider my options for this problem? How could I find out for sure what is causing this. Night before last, I woke up and I had started urinating and was able to stop and make it to the bathroom. This is one of the worst things that has ever happened to me. I don't want to end up wearing diapers.
Again, thanks for your help!
The incontinence started right after I had low back surgery for high-grade spondylolisthesis. The urologist thought it was from the nerves in my low back and is sending me back to my neurosurgeon. But I don't see how having surgery a year ago and then having incontinence 6 months after surgery can happen. I was not sure if it's possible that this is a separate issue then my back or not.
I have a question regarding urinary and fecal incontinence as a consequence of MS. I was wondering if any of you had experienced this, if it is treated and how?
Thank you very much.
A year ago I started having some night time incontinence along with panic attacks. My doctor said I have benign prostrate enlargment and should see a urologist. The Urologist said I should have a cyscoscopy. This test showed that my bladder was not emptying when I pee. He saw evidence of long term tension in the detrusor muscle which he thought was caused by a constriction of the ureathra by the prostrate. He recommended that I try "flow max" to reduce the constriction.
I am 3 weeks post-op for a partial hysterectomy and suddenly developed incontinence. I had bladder spasms within the first 7 days of surgery, but they went away. This just came on suddenly, and I don't see my doctor till Monday. This is horrible. I have never birthed children, only pushed to eliminate my colon in the past. Sometimes I have waited too long to go and have leaked prior to surgery, but it was from being too busy.
The minute I stand I leak. I have to wear maxi pads.
My MS has progressed to the point of my needing items for Incontinence. Does anyone in our forum know anything about the following such as what is the best body spray for urinary odor control? What about a place to get undergarments for plus size individuals? Any help is much appreciated!!!!
Hi! To answer your question--yes, yes, and yes! It's also very weird when you only have half of the area down there with feeling and half without. Yes, it can and does happen in MS according to my neuro. He had another patient with the same symptom (numbness).
As far as the stress incontinence goes . . . I have had babies before (and one was almost 9 pounds), so in the past I contributed the incontinance to stress incontinence because that is what my GYN said it was.
he has done urodynamics and also looked into my bladder through scope and said that nothing is wrong with my bladder and urthera,he first gave me vesicare for a month than enablex but condition still remains the same ,then i went to another general phyisican he sent me for x-ray of my lower back,results came out negative.my urlogist told me to go to neurolgist...
