By Pete, Health Guide Friday, February 27, 2009
I'm sure many of you, like me, have been dealing with incontinence and the associated issues for a long time. And, like me, I'm sure you have had your share of disappointments in trying to obtain medical care for it.   I don't think doctors and their staff mean to be uncaring or insensitive. I...
“A-voiding” Pain: Controlling the Discomfort of Incontinence

Myself I have been dealing with incontinence for 6 years now.  I have no feeling of when my bladder fills, just constant pain and the feeling of throwing up.  They did diagnosis me with intersistal cystis but I have no feeling in when I have to go to the bathroom.  I am tried of leakage all day long that I have to wear a pad for.  I knew that many suffer with worse, so I am greatful that is all, but I am tired of pain, leakage, and the feeling of throwing up with no real anwsers.  I once talked to a doctor about the severe spasms I felt in my left side, and if he knew anything about the muscles around the bladder he said no.  I called out of state doctor and they said it was interstital cystis symtoms.  I once asked my doctor why I still leak why I took detrol, he told me I had to learn control, when I told him I can't feel the urge. When He then opened my bladder and watched it leak out and said I had some stress incontinence.  I talked to another they say they have surgery to help this.  I know what you mean by doctors being not so helpful.
