[QUOTE="the Boissetarian, post: 404863, member: 74062"] [b]Re: First day of treatment for bladder neuropathy[/b] Hi Emmie & everyone I've had a weak bladder for about 30yrs - but as a result of a hysterectomy. I was not diabetic at that time. DIagnosed in 2009. I have at times little control and have been told I have urge incontinence. As a result, especially after my double knee op in 2010, I have had to wear protective pads when I go out of the house, and even then have had several accidents. It is no fun having to walk through people with an obviously wet pair of trousers. Had to have a catheter inserted because not get out of bed to wee, which knackered the sphincter. Much better now thank goodness! So can appreciate your embarrasement. I have to empty bladder about every 1½ to 2hrs and often when out have to find a "tiddle spot" as I call it. Not always easy. My husband is now used to it and does not blink an eye, but we had a friend visit about 2yrs ago and she was horrified that I could not control my bladder and said I could not respect myself by squatting in public. I suppose it can embarras people. I was told about the electronic stimulation treatment by our local physio, but did not use it. I pray it will help you strengthen your pelvic muscles and so help control evacuation. Look forward to hearing how you get on Having read all your comments it has alerted me to the fact that diabetes can cause similar effects. Going to see urologist beginning of August and will ask him about it [/QUOTE]
