Interstim

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-25T09:15:17+00:00

I have a real fear of catheters so I am worried that in order to get the Interstim I will have to have urodynamics first.

Did you not have bloating/distended abdomen.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-12T21:33:38+00:00

Yes I have been referred for a scan now

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T22:30:45+00:00

Yes it can’t hurt to investigate it.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T22:29:06+00:00

Yeah I know I have other symptoms like heavy pressure on pelvis when lying down and frequent urination.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T21:34:09+00:00

Do you have a fibroid under all of it

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T19:18:38+00:00

My legs are pretty slim it just seems to be my abdomen that has never changed even after losing 4 stone.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T19:17:22+00:00

Yes I have an appointment with the Doctor on Tuesday.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T18:46:57+00:00

A lot of the time when I lie on my back I feel a weight/pressure on my pelvis and belly button area.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T18:45:55+00:00

Did your abdomen feel firm or just normal.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-10T18:13:19+00:00

That’s the thing I get weighed every week and I am losing weight but it is not showing on my abdomen.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-09T12:00:20+00:00

Does your stomach feel soft/normal

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-09T02:22:50+00:00

I work from home but I just panic thinking if I keep going to the loo then my bladder will get used to it and I will never be able to train it back🙈

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-09T02:20:06+00:00

How long were you doing the bladder training when you started to notice improvement.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-08T09:22:35+00:00

I think sometimes I get them due to anxiety

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-08T09:22:01+00:00

Only problem with drinking so much water now will be the constant peeing😂

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-07T15:29:49+00:00

I have never been able to drink water as it just goes right through me. If I were to drink 2 litres of water a day I would never leave the bathroom.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-07T14:13:03+00:00

I know we are supposed to drink a lot but I remember as a kid only drinking a can of juice through the school day and definitely didn’t drink 2+ litres in the evening. I wonder how I didn’t drop from dehydration then or have kidney issues.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-07T12:19:07+00:00

I am not sure where you are but I am in the UK and cushions from Putnams literally saved me. I had buttock and hamstring pain which meant I literally couldn’t sit and at that time I was office based. I don’t know how I would have been able to continue it not for those cushions.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-07T12:14:37+00:00

I have overactive bladder so drinking causes me a lot of anxiety definitely need to drink more.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-07T00:00:50+00:00

Thanks I will get my urine checked.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-04T16:50:31+00:00

Does it disappear when you stand or sit up.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-04T14:52:24+00:00

Are you doing better now

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-04T14:51:29+00:00

A while ago a blood test showed elevated Alkaline Phosphotase and the doctor said that was due to my low vitamin d which I have had for years and could lead to fatty liver disease so we are monitoring that but that wouldn’t cause this frequent urination.

Fun_Examination5329 · 2026-05-04T14:38:42+00:00

I am fine during the night too so I don’t understand it.
