Anyone with bladder and bowel spasms? I can feel my bladder doing back flips and bowel spams. Yesterday I had stomach cramps so bad, but I didnt eat anything out of the ordinary. Today I feel much better.

Peels, incontinence is the number one symtom of MS complaints...welcome to our world. Usually it starts out much like a muscle spasm. It can last this way for years...eventually, when the muscle can no longer support the bladder, incontinence starts. Now would be a good time to talk to your doctor about exercises you can do, and make 100% sure you dont have any kind of bladder infection or somthing different which might be causing it...
good luck.

I am going to see the urologist next month, I mentioned this problem to my Neuro and he is sending me. This is kind of embarassing but I have wet bed several times in the last month as well.

Dont be embarrassed. I do understand. Unfortunately, its not pleasant,but it is a problem with us MSers. There are meds now, which really do work, which will stop this from happening. Im glad you are seeing a urologist- thats a very smart way to do this. Sounds like you have a good neuro who is on top of your care...thats a really good thing! Youre in good hands..stay strong. This might be only a symtom, not permanent but seeing a urologist is a good way to find out..
take care..

I seem to have to opposite problem -- I usually have this "hesitation" when I really have to go and I feel like my bladder didn't empty all the way. I'm constipated almost constantly -- and when I DO go, it takes me a minute to remember HOW!
