My life with Incontinence

By Junior Monday, May 05, 2008

Hello,

 

My Name is not junior but I after so many years of being incontinent am still asshamed by it. I have been living with this for about 8 yrs. I am 25.

 

The reason I am incontinent is because off an football injury in back in high school. I have minnor nerve dammage. I have very little feeling of when i have to go. I it hard to discribe. i feel it around my bladder not acctually feeling the bladder getting full. if that makes sence. I can manage to some degree during the day by timing my self and limiting what i drink. but i have to wear a freeking THING when i sleep. you know it makes it really hard to keep a relationship.

 

Well such is life.  O yeah sorry for my poor speeling.

Hello my name is Melissa.  I know all about how you feel. I am in the same situation.  The hardest part for me is that my friends just don't understand what I am going through. I am not sure what caused it, but my urinary internal splincter wouldn' t get out of the contraction state so I don't fill my bladder.  I am going to be taking an MRI to see if this is causing it.
