bladder neck spasm

bladder neck spasm

at the age of 36 I injured my back shortly afterwards I started going into
urinary retension every few days to weeks.

after about a year and trying every drug known to man I had a bladder neck
incission and things settled down. ?<For about 4 years.

Now I get sever bladder neck spasms which refuse to go away despite every
drug known to my urologist being tried.

I now have to self cathiterise four times daily as I am unable to pass any
urine

I now take morphine for the pain but still collapse with severe pain at time
on my last visit to hospital I was told you have no feeling in your bladder
neck and therefore can feel no pain there

Any help or advice would be gratefully accepted.

ps. i am in the uk

I am not a doctor, but I AM a Certified Health Nut, and I have cured
myself of rheumatoid arthritis. Check Wikipedia and Google for further
info or ask here if you don't understand my advice.

I believe you when you say you have REALLY BAD nerve pain. Morphine is
not very good at controlling nerve pain. Guess what is? Pot! See if
your doc will give you a prescription. I've heard that the street
version is better, though.

I agree with your surgeon. Don't have any more surgery until you've
exhausted the other options.

Regarding your Ulcerative Colitis, I would bet that you haven't had a
Celiac Panel to rule out that you don't in fact have Celiac Disease,
which will absolutely screw you up. It is called "the Great Impostor".
If you have Celiac Disease you will have to eliminate gluten from your
diet. Ulcerative colitis is an EXTREME inflammatory condition. Get the
book from your library "The Anti-Inflammation Zone" by Dr. Barry
Sears. Follow his program.

If you are overweight, lose weight. If you smoke, STOP. If you drink,
drink dry red wine.

Good Luck, Please let me know if this helps.

Are you in London?

Sincerely, BlackHawk
