Neurogenic bladder?

I have been having problems with retention. I sometimes retain up to half of the bladder content. I have also had severe spasms of the bladder. I went to a Urologist who did a thorough workup and diagnosed me with a neurogenic bladder. He started me on Ditropan, 10mg, 3x daily, and self-cath., twice daily. This seems to be helping quite a bit. Now the question, I went to a different Dr., who said I do not have a neurogenic bladder because my bladder capacity is very large, up to 1000cc. He said a neurogenic bladder is small. Is this true? Your help would be appreciated. I am undergoing neurological workup for possable MS., however to date all tests except the bladder have been normal.
