Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Maxine, sorry you have joined the not so happy " bladder issues " club. This appears to be very common with us. Be aware that you could possibly have UTI and not feel the warning pains as you normally would. My primary doc took this situation seriously so any time I go in for whatever they also check urine to be safe. Are you sure you do not also have syrinx in spine?? Have they done MRI complete spine? I was one of the many who went for years believing I must have MS, only dx that fit all my many problems. After years of fighting to be taken serious a thorcic MRI was done and there was the syrinx! A very knowing lady who has both MS and SM has told us it is hard to know which is causing which problems---they share many same symptoms. I also have had all you mentioned and then some really crazy, hard to explain type episodes. Normally, they would MRI brain/entire spine looking for lesions. That is how they found my syrinx. The doctor does need to know about any bladder/bowel changes for sure. Not life threatening. Many lower back problems will cause these problems too. Dawn .......As you would do for the least of these so have you done unto me--the Creator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
