Hi Joe,
Thanks so much for your question.

It sounds like your doctor did quite a workup on you. Although, you didn't mention whether your doctor was a urologist or a general practioner. If your doctor is not a urologist, I would suggest you see one about your problem. On the other hand, if your doctor is a urologist, then I would recommend you find a neurologist. And, if it's possible, try to find doctors whom have had experience treating patients with spinal cord injuries.

I have severe bladder spasms and have taken Detrol LA and Ditropan [not sure if it's spelled that way] with much success.

I hope this helps and if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask me anytime.

Thanks aqgain,
John McKinzie


Answer
Joe,

I have no bladder control and I have a foley catheter. These meds help control the bladder spasms. They get so bad that the sphincter muscle actually tightens around the catheter, cutting off the flow.

I don't know what your problem is or what can be done.

Thanks,
John McKinzie
