Bladder issues anyone?

Hey Guys and Dolls,

This has sort of been a surprise, i did start having bladder issues a few years ago but it's been more an issue of when I think I need to go i'm already wetting my self a little bit, no feeling of going just the tell tale evidence of it, type of thing, ok and a couple of bigger accidents but nothing too bad.

Over the summer holidays here in OZ, I've started having more of an issue than those little oopsies, enough of them to hit my radar. I'll be standing, sitting lol it doesn't matter, i'm not even thinking I need to go and i'll feel the wetness running down my legs, totally no feeling what so ever other than knowing that warm wetness isn't right.

The only similarities to when its happening is i'm down the beach so the weather is pretty warm, i've at some stage been wakeboarding and dealing with the after affects of that so thats the tremors, puppet walking and lack of control of my legs etc I am usually still wearing wet bathers (bikini) but its not happening straight away, sometimes its at least an hour or so after being active, which makes me wonder if thats nothing more than a coincidence.

ROFL if it was incontinence from laughing, i'd be wetting my self all the time but alas i dont even have to be doing anything but breathing when it starts. Sunday when it was happening again, i took my self off to the bathroom even though i had no sensations that i needed to go, my bladder was definitely very full because well trust me it was full but i no idea at all that it was.

So apart from going to the loo more often, just in case in case. does anyone have any ideas with this one? Not worried about it, just dont want to keep wetting my self and not realise before someone else does lol so not the image i'm going for whilst i'm in my bikini lol

Cheers.............JJ

Morning,

Thanks for the hints, i'll trying going more frequently to see if that stops the leakage but pads and bathing suits I dont think will work very well. I dont think its a big issue for me, so far its not and i'm optimistic its just another reaction to wakeboarding. I have muscle weakness and tremors, signal from brain to legs is screwie for hours after i've done it, so its highly likely its connected though i'll keep an eye on it.

Cheers........JJ

Hi JJ, I have had this incontience problem twice for more that a week each time. It felt as you describe it, no feeling until it was out and about :-/, no fun though. I were pads just in case it happens again, and try to remember to empty the bladder very often. Hope this gets better for you.

My best,
Dagun

I do know this is a problem and I am sure you will get much great info from here.  Jordan has to go to bathroom every 2 hours or so.  It just leaks out, no feeling he has to go.  The going on a set schedule has helped him a lot.  I am really sorry this is happening.  I know it really worries Jordan.  He wears lots of dark clothes!LOL

I take oxybutnin, but I still wear a pad when I leave the house-just in case...
