Pads help, thank God for them. I have had this problem since my hysterectomy when they also raised my bladder, as it was tipped. During my recovery I felt something tear inside. Told the dr. that did the bladder repair and he told me that couldn't happen, so I have been dealing with it myself.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Very close, D-Mannose. A web search will lead to lots of info. Donna ----- Original Message ----- Awhile back someone listed the name of something for bladder problems like D mannos or something???? Please enlighten me on the real name...I'm sure this is wrong.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I had bladder problems and infections since I was little and found that eliminating all dairy/casein products has made them disappear. Hope that helps, Jenifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I didn't get outright infections, but did get a lot of cystitis symptoms while I had the bladder problems, which I presume were to do with never emptying my bladder properly. It won't fix it, but perhaps drinking cranberry juice would at least help? I know sometimes the relief from discomfort it gave me seemed about the only thing that was maintaining my sanity!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Also try " pudendal nerve entrapment " as it seems to be referred to by both spellings. Before my revision surgery I had a lot of bladder issues, depending on the kind of pain, I either couldn't go, or I couldn't get relief, or I just plain didn't have the faintest idea whether I needed to go or not etc. The odd thing is that it was only my L2-3 and possibly L4-5 discs that were implicated which as far as I can gather should be too high up. I got all sorts of odd pains though - such as a burning pain on the front of my right hip bone - the bit that sticks out (if you're skinny enough, unlike me ;o) - that was just excruciating. Some of it is acting up again a little now that the stenosis is becoming a literal pain, but I don't know to what extent my body is just weird - considering I managed to have so many bladder and bowel issues and have them just go away with the surgery it seems it is at least moderately. I hope you can get some relief with this. The only other thing that occurs to me is that if some of it is bladder issues, it could be worth looking into interstitial cystitis, or painful bladder syndrome. It is quite variable in symptoms and would not necessarily cause it to burn when you wee. One of the links I glanced at for nerve entrapment says it is often misdiagnosed as interstitial cystitis, so researching around the subject could be a good move. I hope I haven't confused the issue further ( titch On 4/9/06, Racine <linda@...> wrote: Hi Carol....You might want to Google the terms " pudental nerve entrapment " and " pelvic floor.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Four times this week, upon feeling the sensation to urinate, I got up to walk about 15ft to the bathroom and began to urinate before I got there. Here's something else peculiar, I can remember numbers and dates fine but when I go to write them or dial them, they are flipped around. Example, 4927 becomes 2749 and 745 becomes 754. Year of birth, I would put 06, present year, 61. Typing, I go to type third finger left hand but type third finger right hand. I know the correct answer but write something different. I am wondering if cord compression and spinal fluid are affecting my brain. Phyllis Tonja Odegaard <todegaard0646@...> wrote: Rene, I didn't experience that sort of problem. For me, it was I would be sitting on the sofa or on a chaier and for no reason i would wet myself. And I didn t even know it. I was losing control of my bladder function. That was when my orthopedic surgeon that I was going to for PT said something was definately wrong and I needed to have surgery asap. I was rushed to a hospital in Columbus Ohio and underwent emergency surgery. They ended up taking two discs out, then I had another one removed a month later then I had the fusion. But it could be the beginnings of losing control of your bladder. I would definately mention this to your doctor. If I hadn't, I may not be here now.

My hunch was also that I was eliminating bugs and they were vacating my body via gut and bladder...... (as a younger woman UTI's were very common). My LLMD ran a course of Bactrim DS for two weeks on me and it did such a wonderful clean-up.. I think it is one of the best Lyme ABX out there and It was OK to continue herbal program throughout treatment. I also was not drinking enough water (coffee doesn't count) and sometimes I think I was not emptying my bladder fully because of the new menopausal changes.... hope this helps J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hello Kate, For irritated bladder and/or frequent urination, I recommend Cran-Aid tea by Traditional Medicinals. I always go to herbs first for an ailment but I expect that they will take time to heal. This tea is amazing. I was urinating - literally - every 30 minutes, at times. Definitely a sign that something was wrong, but I didn't have an UTI, and no pain. Sure does keep you close to home! This tea has changed that completely. I said to my Qi Gong healer how surprised I was that one cup changed my condition, and maybe it is coincidence and not the tea. She thought that I had had an inflamed or irritated or sensitive bladder, and that the tea soothed it. Whatever, I now drink the tea at least one cup a day, and it is also very tasty. http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=201614 & prrf\ nbr=211936 & pcgrfnbr=204131 good luck, ellen > > I know can cause this,but I also wonder if herbs (cats claw/japanese knotweed) could too.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Lyme and co's get into bladder and cause this irritation and pee problem. I only experienced this when I was killing it off in that area, and it went away on its own. But yeah, sucked!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Many thanks for your suggestions - I will see what my LLMD says in a few weeks, but it might be worthy trying an ABx on top of the herbs. I also wonder if I should be pushing for a scan - anyone had any experience of this? Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi, When the bacteria die-off occurs,ammonia is the by-product and it burns and you can smell it when it comes out. It is dangerous to your tissues not to neutralize it with something. When I was having a lot of pain from this, I took a 500mcg tablet of molybdenum. It was so effective, it took away the pain of the ammonia laden urine and also took away the pain everywhere in my body for a few days!! And it is not expensive! Since we do not have much info on the effect of this mineral in long term use, I only take a pill when I feel pain. I do not need it every day anyway. All the best, Rita > > > > > > I know can cause this,but I also wonder if herbs (cats claw/japanese knotweed) could too.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Be careful with anything cranberry if you have Intercystial Cystitis from damage to your bladder from Lyme or abx from Lyme tx. Cranberry can cause a lot of IC flares. Many herbs also damage the lining of the bladder, not help it. Be careful. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
