I Feel My RA Has Affected My Bladder Control. Anybody Agree.
I had incontinence but as my RA symptoms improved, I was able to do Pilates 2x weekly. After about 3 months, no more problems as the exercises rebuilt my lower pelvic girdle muscles.
Yes I have had issues with this as well not so much incontinence as not able to completely empty my bladder. Not being able to feel the muscles enough to clench them to pee faster, if that makes sense. And then when I do pee and stand up I have to pee again. I can tell that it definitely gets worse when I'm in a flare, so I'm assuming it's inflammation in that area.
Noticed that too but only within the last year. feel like I keep going to use restroom. Especially if I cough or laugh, I suddenly have to go. I don't have any suggestions. I aim for 1 liter of water a day (can not tolerate 2 liters or 8 glasses of water in one day). The water helps overall, even if it leads to frequency
Sadly, yes. I wish I had a solution for you. But it feels like an issue that few people discuss (including myself) and I appreciate knowing that I’m not the only one.
I have had issues with stress incontinence for many years. Been on various medications. Never associated it with RA but not surprised to find that out. For the last two years I’ve been getting Botox injections in my bladder. Yes, it can be a very uncomfortable procedure. However, it has improved my symptoms.
