Before I would offer comments without value, I'd like to know what her Uro has to say as they have a much better medical history on that person. Usually at that level, something is better then nothing. A Cath perhaps? Best Wishes In a message dated 12/19/2009 1:04:38 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hello everybody. I just received this e-mail and I thought it would be a good idea to bring it over into the forum. Here's what she asks: Are there any women with incomplete C3-C4 SCI’s without paralysis having problems with losing control of their bladder unexpectedly? I have been pretty good about urinating frequently but lately have been having accidents and I am not really sure why. When I lose control the urge comes up very quickly and usually before I can get to a bathroom I have lost control. This is very embarrassing especially when I am out in public. I will even have gone to the bathroom before I leave the house to make sure I don’t have to go again for a couple of hours but this is n o longer working to manage this either. I don't believe I have an UTI...no uncomfortably, spasms, or burning sensations. However my urine does have a strong order that I have never had before. The color and clarity is good so I am not sure what is up. Before I trek back to a doctor I thought I would just put this out there and see if anyone else has had similar incidents and they found out about this problem. Also I have increased my exercising and this seems to have also increased loss of bladder control. Doesn’t matter if I don’t drink anything hours before I walk 3-5 miles by the time I time I have put one hour in I have wet my pants. Now I have to wear one of those heavy Kotex pads, which is bulky and uncomfortable. Thanks ahead of time for your response :) Anokij
