Definitely go see the urologist...but one thing that I learned from experience when I went the the uro...ask them to check you for a yeast or bacterial vaginal infection too. Mine didnt check that, and apparently that was a big part of my problem. Yeast infections and UTI's have very similar symptoms.

That feeling sucks!!!!!!!!
![]() I keep Azo test strips on hand to check for bladder infection at home. You can buy them anywhere. If I have an infection I use the Azo pills and they work for me. I also take cranberry supplements. I had all the fancy tests done and they came out normal (small urine retention but not much) so Nuero say's Nuerogenic Bladder. Mine comes and goes but seems to coincide with a change in seasons. Its worth getting checked because you don't want to blame everything on MS. I was afraid I had a bladder tumor or something!! ![]() Big hug to you

Hi Sarah, I really think that if your doc said your bladder was dropping
that its a good chance that is what it is instead of being neuro related. Definately talk it over during your appt. Maybe you need the old bladder tied up.(just kidding) I know I get the same thing and go literally 12xhour sometimes. I just cant empty it. ![]() ![]()

Hi Sarah~ I was having the same type of sx's and saw my urologist who told me that w/childbirth and/or age, my bladder had thinned out at the bottom ~ thus making me feel the urge to continually run to the bathroom. They gave me Vesicare to try and it did help, but I quit taking it. (not another pill!!!!)
I do the exercises and am trying to walk a little more, and it has helped. The Dr said they can do a quick OP procedure to stitch the bladder.. YIKES! I'm opting to wait it out. Sometimes it hits me right out of the blue., so hope your Dr can help figure it out for you.
