Question : I have suffered for the last 12 years with severe bladder urges. I spend almost $1500.00 in pads and Depends. I am obese and have Lymphedema in legs. I have tried different drugs for bladder-- but had blurred vision last and since then stopped taking them--probably 6 yrs ago--the last time I saw Urologist. Is there anything new I could try or do?? It is just awful and I am getting more housebound. Any suggestions, advice would be appreciated. Now I must take a waterpill40mg) and I have waterfalls for most of the day- so I take them every other day--maybe!

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal .
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.

The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible neurological condition that may be affecting the spine.
If lower spinal cord us affected, the person who has the problem can potentially develop a bladder disorder.

The perfect way would very to get a neurological examination for you. I usually also suggest a MRI L'S spine for this condition.

If already done,please do let me know.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
