HOW DO I STOP BLADDER LEAKAGE DURING A UTI?! I can't go anywhere or do anything! I've taken my Ditropan, have an Oxytrol patch on, and Pyridium does nothing! I've taken 3 doses of Macrobid like my doctor said, and it won't stop leaking! It hurts so badly, and my insurance won't cover Hyophen or Toviaz. Should I just say screw it and put a Foley in?

Make sure you self catheter at regular intervals..you should help resolve the leaking then.....Once the UTI is resolved it sounds like your issue will resolve?

My UTI is almost gone (it was caused by a reaction to vanilla scent in my friend's hot tub) and my leakage problem is too... unless I take a sleep aid! Then I don't wake up to pee! lol.
I like that one. I wrote another poem, but as the time goes on with less and less contact from him, I'm starting to get mean. he's given up hope and I haven't.
My plea for bladder leakage and bladder spasms to stop has been answered! My urologist switched me from Ditropan (30mg per day was doing nothing) to Toviaz (4mg once a day). These two medications work the same way, but apparently my body is more responsive to the Toviaz, and my bladder hasn't leaked since the switch! (2 days.) I slept through the night with no leakage and no waking up at 5am to pee! I am happy
Things have been going well with the Toviaz. I currently have a UTI and am on Keflex (Cephalexin) for it. I had a yeast infection caused by the UTI or vice versa; I wipe down public toilet seats before I use them now! I am almost done with the 10-day antibiotic treatment, and my synptoms are back! I think the antibiotic gave me another Y.I. even though I use probiotics and eat a yogurt everyday. It's a viscious cycle!
UTI'S are a nightmare! Sounds like you are trying everything possible Knight and doing everything right. Its so unfortunate that SCI messes this up and annoying especially at times of a UTI!.

I'm definitely calling my doctor in a few hours. It's 4:00am here, and I am having trouble getting to sleep because of the stabbing pain in my urethra. It's like someone jabbed my bladder sphincter with a fire-stick or something! Something is going on, and I'm not letting it go on any longer. I'm going straight to my urologist; it feels like there may be more going on than just a UTI.
