Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I am also having low back pain. My back burns and hurts like crazy. I have had several back injuries so I just chalked it up to that. I hope it's just a fluke and the back pain is from something like my bed suddenly.Trisha, are your tumors benign? What causes them?

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ah – it could be the same then? The urologist found that my bladder was not emptying – even with all that volume! The pain was due to the pressure backing up on the ureter tubes. I’ve been having a daily LARGE glass of cranberry juice to keep that stagnant urine from becoming an infection. Neurogenic bladder is a term you can google. The status of the tumors is unknown - if not benign, then most likely metastatic. We’re going to monitor with quarterly blood results.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Are you cathing, Trisha? I'd be surprised if it wasn't suggested in this case. Ah – it could be the same then?

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 No. I was told to make bathroom trips each hour, with a 15 minute followup visit after each. There are days when 30 minutes is the longest I can go between trips. And there are days when dribbles are all I produce every 30 minutes. I see the Urologist this week, to follow up. Yesterday was much better, so I’m hoping it’s resolving.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 How long have you had this. It's a common problem in MS to not be able to empty the bladder and the answer is usually self-cathing. It's not healthy to not allow the bladder to empty. Please let us know what happens when you see the urologist. http://practical-homeschooling.orgwww.laurascoolstuff.com No. I was told to make bathroom trips each hour, with a 15 minute followup visit after each.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I’ve had this for almost 2 months now. I let it go until the pain hit my lower back then went to see if I had infection. There was none 3 weeks ago and I’ve been very careful since. I’ve now had two pain free days! My hope is that the bladder is now back to normal function - but the sono will tell for sure on Friday. I’ll post the results then. I have the feeling that this will be the second clinical issue – which would possibly bring a formal diagnosis of MS… Trisha From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of Beaudin Sent: Sunday, June 20, 2010 8:28 AM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: low back pain too.....Re: frequent urination (Trisha) How long have you had this.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I forgot you didn't have a definite diagnosis yet. This just may do it for you. How do you feel about that? If you are anything like me I was happy and relieved to finally get a dx. Of course, there was also a certain about of sadness that went along with it. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Oh, well… less ok than when I first had that possibility presented, but still ok. I have always had the ability to willingly accept anything that came along (I have never had good foresight to give me hesitation in any way) – and then comes the realization once I’m in the thick of it, that I really had no idea what the heck I was getting myself into. That’s some of what I’m feeling… But I’m still ok with whatever comes along (la de dah de dah, lol). I’ve now had three days pain free – no lower back or flank pain, and the bladder pressure is feeling fairly normal with pretty regular volume. I’m so glad to hear that your problems resolved, Sharon.
