bladder problems need help
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm a male just turned 20 and a year ago I took ketamine one night in amsterdam (only my 4th time taking it) and I think ever since then its changed how my bladder has worked for life maybe due to a toxic or allergic reaction i don't know. I would start getting pain around my bladder and back pain and pelvic pain if i smoked weed it would also attack my immune system and i would have a runny nose and be coughing the next day. It was the same with alcohol and ecstasy would seem to irratate my bladder highly. So around december last year I stopped going out drinking and smoking for 4 months. And the pain actually went away and I could drink again normally but I didn't really smoke. Then I started to smoke again because the pain was never really that bad just some small pain in my bladder which would radiate to my hamstring and lowerback and whenever i smoked i could feel the blood pulsating in my hamstrings. And there was time i smoked one night and I was finding it hard to urinate and fully empty my bladder the for a few days after but that got better. So after this I basically stopped smoking again and carried onto drink not heavily but maybe 3 times a week this summer. There was one week at the end of this august where i drank for 5 days straight, not till the point i got sick but enough to get my drunk and I actually got very ill after with a sore throat , headache, and aching legs , and a prickly sensation in my left testicale and had legs had no energy. Ever since that point I can't drink one beer without getting an extreme lower back pain and joint pain in my legs and even pain on the soles of my feet after drinking and pain in my bladder area I get a prickly pain under my left knee, hamstring and left testicle while walking and general achy sensaition in my legs with no energy. So when I realised even just a beer was causing me so much pain I stopped drinking for the past 2 weeks, but i have found if i masterbate i get intense lower back pain which then causes bladder pain also and the pain will radiate to my hips and buttocks and the meatus head of my penis is pink and swollen and I will feel blood pulsating around my legs and muscle spasms and more aching in my joints and even the pain rise to my middle of my back around my kidneys and stomach area and if i lie on my side when i sleep i wake up in even more pain and a temperature and my urine flow seems weak and these symptoms come after around 30 mins after masturbating. Also I can't apply any pressure to my bladder without pain. I have a feeling it could be something to do with the nerves in between my back and bladder as I have had test for infections and kidney functions all been fine but I am not a doctor so I really don't know Recently the pains have got more intense and i can feel pain around my glands in my neck and pressure around my head. I have been to the doctor 10 times and has never really given me any solutions or diagnosis. The only thing that came up in blood tests was my folate levels were down slightly but since then ive been taking tablets and symptoms havent improved. I've tried having cranberry extracts but they seem to make my bladder worse for some reason and cause more pain and cuases more pulsation that i can feel around my legs. Please help because i am now starting to get worried and the next urologist appointment is only avaliable on the november 21 and im supposed to be going back to south america for a year in october

Wow, sounds like you have a lot going on. It was a bit hard to follow but sounds like maybe the problem isn't your bladder but that your bladder is being affected by whatever else is going on in your body since your pain is not localized to bladder only. Until you receive confirmation of what is going on, stop all alcohol use and stop smoking. Both are huge bladder irritants and are, I'm sure, aggravating whatever is going on with you. Stop the cranberry too. While cranberry is recommended during UTIs to flush out the bacteria, it is highly acidic and irritating to an inflamed bladder and is not recommended for those with interstitial cystitis and overactive bladder. What types of doctors have you seen because I'm not sure a urologist is the specialist you really need to be seeing right now.

Yes sorry for the erratic story but i've been experiencing so many symptoms at a lot of different points, these new symptoms i've been getting in the past month with my lower back and legs make me think i shouldn't be seeing a urologist as well. I Am a man but i couldn't find a section in the male category for bladder problems only seemed to have prostate and infections. The cranberry extract has definatley irrated my bladder so i will not take that again. What specialist do you think i should be seeing? The doctor I've been seeing in the past month really hasn't given me any helpful suggestions or help at all. At the start of the year in the period where i stopped going out for 4 months i saw an urologist and had an ultrasound and i was about to have a cystopsy but i went to south america for a few months before and i could drink alcohol again with no problems so me and the urologist agreed there was no need to have one. But now this new lower back and legs problem has seemed to come as a result of the bladder problem i had before.
