Frequent Urination and Back Injury

by Back Injury, Jun 11, 2007 12:00AM
I was in a car accident 2 years ago and ever since then I have been urinating frequently about 40 times a day.  I have had the following tests:

MRI of the Brain - They did find any thing but my urologist wants it redone because they didn't use contrast (done 2 years ago)
MRI of lumbar spine - A bulging disc was found.  This is going to be repeated because they didn't use contrast (done 2 years ago)
MRI of Thoracic Spine - They used contrast and found Hemangiomata at T4, T9 and T12 (done last week)
EMG (done 3 weeks ago)

So my latest MRI of the Thoracic spine shows I have Hemangiomata.  What is that exactly? And could it be contributing to my frequent urination.  I need help.  The medication I am on dehydrates me and I can't drink anything without having an urge or using the bathroom.  If you have any suggestions please help.

I was in a car accident about two months ago, I am still dealling with the whiplash and concussion. Recently, last few days, I have the sensation that I have urinated myself. It feels like urine us passing from my penis and it also feels warm/wet on my legs. When I rush to the bathroom to check myself there is nothing. I used toliet tissue to check for moisture on the tip of my penis as well as my underwear and pants, always  dry. Am I going insane?
