UTI without burning?

Jennifer, is it an infection? If so, for women, like my wife, she used D-Mannose, that you can get at the health food store. It makes it hard for E-coli, to live in the bladder.

The doctor has done a urine sample and no sign of infection. I do also have severe scoliosis and disc degeneration in my lower spine. Was wondering if that could be a cause. If it's pressing on the bladder.

Could be. What a pain, it must be to always having to feel like you got to pee. Wish you find a solution to your problem.

Hi Jennifer. Forty times! That sounds awful for you. When I was googling to try and find out what was going on with me, I saw something about how spinal problems can lead to bladder issues if the spine presses on the bladder or nips a nerve that's connected to the bladder. I don't know the accuracy of that as I can't remember the website so it may not be a reputable one. But it could be something to look into? I really hope you get some answers and a solution.

It's more of a problem when I am trying to sleep at night. Always have the urge to go but not needing too. If the ultrasound doesn't show anything up then I don't know what they will check for next. Or if there is medication to help. I can't travel very far without needing the toilet.

I'm not sure. I think it will depend on any diagnosis or what the doctors believe is the cause. I've seen on other discussions that people have been prescribed muscle relaxants for the bladder, one person was given amitriptyline that helped them sleep through the urges better, but another was given exercises and helped to 'retrain' the bladder. I think there's a few options out there, i hope you get relief soon.

Thanks for the reply. It's like my bladder can't hold much volume too. As soon as I have anything to drink i need to toilet straight away, then up to ten tines within an hour. I will speak to the gp again when I am there next.

Jennifer, that's got to be distressing. I used to be something like that too. Not as severe as in your case but, going anywhere from home, would be difficult. ..always looking for a restroom, was my problem. Hope you find a solution.

Yes I am the same. There's a possibility I may also have Lupus to. Whether that's a symptom of that i don't know.

Jennifer, I am 70 years old, may I ask your age? In the morning's I sit with three older ladies, ages 75, 79 and 92. They have many life stories that are very interesting. We meet at McDonald's at around 5am.

I am only 36 years old.

I believe that would work in your favor. Usually, the younger body, can heal faster, and better, is what I've been told. Good luck, and the best of health!

Thanks Dennis I appreciate it. I'll update if I find out what's causing it/ how to relieve it.
