I have struggled like most here with bladder control, at times horrible pain, urinary retention, anxiety, as others I'm given a real cocktail of medications to help me along.
But I'm getting played out with my bladder pain. I met with my Urology PA and we have decided concentrate on pain. She ordered 2 medications together that have side effects. But hopefully will eventually help when they ramp up together. I have noticed pain is a little bit better, but there is a trade off, yes more bladder incontinence. I mention to her, I can handle the incontinence but not the pain, so lets keep going. She wrote in her notes I strongly agreed it was a good trade off.
I have had to change my protection, as I'm wearing many days a tape style during the day. I'm so very happy she is on my team. It's very hard to even talk about this with family, as many times they just can't understand what really happens. She does. She continues to research my issues, when she can. She has wrote to me several times past 10pm! Gosh,, that to me is patient dedication.
I hope others can learn if they have these issues together
