Last night my husband and I went to a movie, I noticed I was really tired yesterday morning so I kinda stayed in bed well during the movie the freezing set in which meant I had to grab my sweater thank God I had it with me. I noticed that when I went to the restroom my feet were killing me along with some back twinges it took me 5 mins to walk down the hall and 5 mins to get back to the theater by the time I sat down I felt like I needed my bed. I woke up this morning and my back was killing me I hvae een in bed all day and taking pain medicine like crazy. I hate that my doc did xrays on my back and found nothing wrong with it but I know in my heart there is something wrong. Also I have noticed when I have this back pain I have hell going to the restroom it's almost like my bladder doesn't want to work I litterally sit for 10 to 15 mins trying to go,I have an appointment with my primary on Tues and that day can not come fast enough. Sorry I just needed to whine. Thank you guys for listening to me. I pray tomorow will be better.

Angela I am sorry you had such a bad time today. I hope and pray your doctor finds out waht is causing your problem with going to the bathroom. My doc has tried me on 3 different meds for OAB and it works up to a point. At least I have a slight warning before there is an accident.

Let us know what the doc has to say. Best of luck with your appointment.

Wow..sorry to hear of the extra trouble you're having. Several of the gals here including myself have a irritable bladder or interstitial cystitis. I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE!! Keep us updated and make sure your Dr. knows ALL about your Fibro. and that interstitial cystitis goes along with it for alot of women!

I hope you don't have a kidney problem or something like that!

I have the same problem, Angela. When my doctor took my off Tramdol, the bladder problem got better. It's back now and I suspect the Baclofen now. I live with it because the pain is too great without the Baclofen.

Have them measure the amount in your bladder before and after peeing as well as pulling a white count blood panel. You might have flacid neurolgical bladder which can lead to urinary tract infections. That sounds almost EXACTLY like what was going on with me up until I started self cathing.

Have you ever had kidney stones?

Angela,

I DO hope you get relief soon ~~~ And, do you have to wait until your Tuesday appt. ? Maybe you should call them early on Monday with the problems/pain you re having ~~~

Please let us know the outcome ~~~ We ll keep you in positive thoughts ~~~

Have I ever told you guys how awesome you are? I am not having any pain when I pee I just can't seem to pee when I know Ihave to go I know I have a full blader I can feel it but I sit and sit and sit it's almost like my brain and ladder are not in sync. The back pain is really low and every now and then I get shooting pains. I am really strarting to get worried. I will be calling the doc earling in the morning and try to get an appointment for tomorrow instead of Tuesday. Lockman,self cathing!? Ouch!!! Hatbox I have never had Kidney stones are hey painful? It has to get better soon as I don't know I am going to function betwen the pain adn a full bladder.

I can't tell if the back pain id fibro related,lupus related,Ra related or anything e;se related lol.

I hate back pain, I have it daily so I certainly feel for you. I also have problems urinating. My md told me that when you take pain meds, your body needs extra fluids so it wants to retain what is in you. I hope you feel better soon, I hope your md can get you in today. Let us know what he says.
