Have your bladder issues ever caused strange symptoms outside the bladder area?
For those of you who have MS-related bladder problems: Besides burning or pain while peeing, urine retention, urgency, and frequency, have your bladder issues ever caused strange symptoms outside the bladder area? Example: auditory hallucinations, tinnitus, zaps, jerks, limb weakness, etc.
Kim, that's a good question! Limb weakness certainly, but I'm pretty sure my tinnitus came about as a side effect of voltaren, a pain medication my neurologist prescribed for fibromyalgia. I'm just grateful I worked with a wonderful neuro-urologist for years and years. I was his favorite patient and he was my favorite specialist! He prescribed Methenamine Hippurate, a prophylactic that has enabled me to stay a step ahead of UTIs for a long time. Now if only I'd invested in POISE stock twenty years ago!

Humm, Therry bladder problems are my newest symptom, frequently and urgently, the odd symptom that I get, is when I can feel that my bladder is full I get a sharp pain in my toes feet hands & arms itfeels as if there is a tiny rod going through my feet after my hands up to my arms doesn't always happen daily but I get this feeling once a week.
